Madison Virgil USD 386

Madison Virgil USD 386, a rural public school district based in Madison, Kansas, is a recipient of federal education grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and a sub-recipient of block grants and Title I funds flowing through the Kansas State Department of Education. As a U.S. local government entity, Madison Virgil USD 386 does not hold federal contracts as a prime or subcontractor and operates exclusively in the K–12 education grant space.

The school district's federal footprint splits between direct grants and pass-through sub-grants. As a prime recipient, Madison Virgil USD 386 has received five consecutive annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dating from July 2022 through July 2026 (the most recent running through September 2027). These direct awards anchor the district's federal engagement. In its sub-recipient role, Madison Virgil USD 386 has received forty-six sub-awards from the Kansas State Department of Education, spanning block grants, Title I Low Income allocations, and 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) funding. Block grants constitute the majority of sub-awards, with Title I and 21st CCLC awards appearing periodically. Recent sub-award activity shows fifteen awards in 2026 alone, with thirteen in 2025 and twelve in 2024, indicating accelerating grant flow.

The district's customer agencies are narrowly concentrated. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for thirty-four awards and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for thirty-two awards, covering 100% of the district's federal award activity. The combined dollars obligated across all sixty-six awards (prime and sub combined) total $1.7 million over the award history spanning from 2007 to present. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Madison Virgil USD 386 operates as a grant recipient rather than a contracting entity and therefore does not compete for federal contracts, sit on government-wide vehicles, or maintain subcontracting relationships with defense or civilian contractors.
