Lynd School District

Lynd School District Lynd Public School District 415 Division, a U.S. local government entity and public school district headquartered in Lynd, Minnesota, serves as a federal grant recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district does not hold federal contracts or prime contract vehicles; all federal activity flows through formula grants and one subordinate sub-award relationship with the Minnesota Department of Education.

Lynd Public School District 415 operates exclusively as a prime recipient of federal education grants, with 95% of recent federal activity concentrated in direct prime grant awards and 5% in a single sub-award arrangement. The district has received five consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards in July 2022, July 2023, July 2024, July 2025, and most recently July 2026. The July 2026 award carries an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027. The district also received a sub-award from the Minnesota Department of Education in May 2024 as part of grant allocation 000-401-2024. Customer concentration is absolute — the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for all 21 awards in the source data, spanning a nineteen-year period from 2007 through 2026.

The district's federal funding footprint is modest. Combined dollars obligated across all twenty-one awards total $395 thousand, reflecting the formula-grant structure of the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, which distributes funding to rural districts based on enrollment and other statutory criteria rather than through competitive procurement. Activity is steady but sparse — one award per year in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026, with two awards in 2024. One award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months faces nominal recompete exposure, though formula-grant participation is not subject to the recompete dynamics of discretionary contracting. The district's federal engagement is characteristic of rural K–12 recipients under Title VI education-formula programs — ongoing access to federal education funding with no competitive procurement footprint, no contract vehicle participation, and no subcontracting infrastructure beyond state-intermediary pass-through arrangements.
