USD 243 Lebo Waverly

USD 243 Lebo Waverly, a U.S. state government entity and public school district headquartered in Waverly, Kansas, receives federal education grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and operates as a sub-recipient of block grants and Title I Low Income funds flowing from the Kansas State Department of Education.

The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of education grants. As a prime recipient, USD 243 Lebo Waverly has received five consecutive annual awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026 and ultimate completion dates running through September 30, 2027. The district also acts as a sub-recipient on 41 block grant and Title I Low Income sub-awards issued by the Kansas State Department of Education since 2023, with the most recent sub-awards dated September 2026. Combined federal dollars obligated across all sixty awards total $1.9 million. The district's customer agency universe is limited to two federal sources: the Department of Education (24 awards) and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (36 awards), which collectively account for 100% of recent award activity. The heavy concentration in USDA awards reflects the food and nutrition service component of rural school support, while Education awards represent the Small, Rural School Achievement direct federal funding line.

Activity has accelerated in the past three years, rising from one award in 2022 to twelve in 2024, twelve in 2025, and seventeen year-to-date in 2026. Across the prime-to-sub split, the district operates predominantly as a sub-recipient: 41 of 60 awards (68%) are sub-awards flowing through the Kansas State Department of Education, while 19 awards (32%) represent direct prime recipient federal grants. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. As a rural public school district, USD 243 Lebo Waverly does not compete for federal contracts or sit on federal contract vehicles; its federal engagement is confined to formula-driven education and nutrition grants characteristic of the K-12 public education sector.
