Liberty School District 2

Liberty School District 2, a U.S. local government school district headquartered in Liberty, Illinois, is a recipient of federal education grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, operating as both a prime grant recipient (75% of recent awards) and a sub-recipient of pass-through funding from the Illinois State Board of Education (25% of recent awards).

Liberty School District 2 does not hold federal contracts. The district's federal footprint consists entirely of education grants under two Department of Education offices. As a prime recipient, the district has received five consecutive annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from July 2022 through July 2026, with the most recent award dated July 1, 2026 and extending to September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district has received seven pass-through awards from the Illinois State Board of Education since 2023, funding special education services (residential costs for students with disabilities), Title I instruction and supplies (including homeless student support), and student educational activities and materials for students at risk of not meeting academic standards.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 22 of 24 awards, with the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounting for the remaining two. The source does not provide individual award dollar magnitudes, though the combined obligated dollars across all 24 awards total $1.5 million over the time window covered. Activity has remained stable in recent years — one award in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only one award (the Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant currently in performance, extending to September 30, 2027) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The district has no involvement in federal contracting vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or IDIQs; its federal engagement is limited to direct Department of Education grant awards and sub-awards from the Illinois state education authority.
