Lyman School District 42-1

Lyman School District 42-1 is a public school district located in Presho, South Dakota, serving as a U.S. local government entity registered to receive federal awards. The district is primarily engaged in receiving federal grant funding to support comprehensive K-12 educational services across its service area. With SAM.gov registration dating back to October 2009, Lyman School District 42-1 has established a consistent track record as a grant recipient, focusing on initiatives that enhance educational programming and services for students in areas where federal presence has reduced local tax revenue. The district does not serve as a prime contractor for federal contracts but maintains an active portfolio of federal grant awards that enable it to deliver critical educational services and support programs.

Lyman School District 42-1 has received substantial funding through the U.S. Department of Education's Impact Aid Program under Title VII, Sections 7002 and 7003, with the most recent award of $342,560 covering the performance period from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. This primary grant funding supports general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration across the district's operations. Beyond Impact Aid, the district has received numerous sub-grant awards flowing through the South Dakota Department of Education, the state's designated prime grantee, including funding for Title I programs, Title II-A Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) initiatives, Title IV activities, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B and Section 611 flowthrough funding, National School Lunch Program (NSLP) block grants and school lunch programs, and Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) II funding. These complementary grant programs collectively enable the district to provide instructional support, teacher professional development, special education services, student meal programs, and emergency relief resources to its student population. The consistent annual receipt of sub-awards since 2021 demonstrates the district's ongoing participation in multiple federal education funding streams administered through the state education agency.
