Madison County Board Of Education

Madison County Board of Education, a U.S. local government school district based in Huntsville, Alabama, receives formula grants and project grants from the Department of Education as a prime recipient, with the majority of its federal award activity flowing through sub-awards distributed by the Alabama State Department of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts or seats on contract vehicles; its federal footprint is entirely grant-based, concentrated in K–12 education programming.

Madison County Board of Education acts as a prime recipient on Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060), receiving consecutive annual formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Recent prime awards include $217,006 (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), $224,310 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026), $225,860 (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025), and $232,507 (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024). These grants fund academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for American Indian and Alaska Native students in the district, with performance measures anchored to student achievement in reading and mathematics, high school graduation rates, and engagement in cultural programming. The district also received a project grant under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (awarded February 15, 2023, with ultimate completion September 30, 2028) and a second Impact Aid grant (awarded November 16, 2023, completing September 30, 2029).

The district serves as a sub-recipient on 30 federal grant awards flowing from the Alabama State Department of Education, the prime grantee on teacher quality, special education, English language acquisition, career and technical education, homeless youth education, well-rounded education, and early intervention services programs. Sub-recipient awards span fiscal years 2022 through 2026, with recent activity including allocations for LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) professional development stipends and mastery instruction materials.

Customer concentration is absolute: 94% of all awards (74 of 79) come from the Department of Education and its subordinate offices, with 59 awards routed through the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education alone. The remaining five awards represent Department of Defense exposure through the sub-award channel. Activity has remained steady at roughly nine awards annually over the past three years (2023–2025), with only three awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. One award (potential value not specified in the source) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in that window. The district does not compete on full-and-open federal contract vehicles, GSA Schedules, or GWACs; its entire operating footprint is statutory formula and project grant programming administered through state and federal education agencies.
