Marysville USD 364

Marysville USD 364, a public school district in rural Kansas, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on school nutrition, student safety, and educational programming, with 91% of its recent federal funding flowing through sub-awards from the Kansas State Department of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant work, with only four prime grants (9% of total awards) against thirty-nine sub-grant awards (91%) from federal programs passed through state administration.

Marysville USD 364 is a non-profit educational institution and state-controlled entity headquartered in Marysville, Kansas, serving a high-need rural community. The district's recent prime grant activity centers on two direct federal awards: a $469,066 project grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Child Nutrition Division under the Farm to School Grant Program (CFDA 10.575), awarded May 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for June 30, 2028, which supports local food procurement, school garden development, agricultural education curriculum integration, and infrastructure improvements to support farm-to-school activities; and a $287,834 project grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Program (CFDA 16.710) under the School Violence Prevention Program, awarded October 1, 2024, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2027, which funds evidence-based school security programs and technology to improve the learning environment.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service dominates the award count at 27 awards (capturing 63% of the 98% coverage shown), while the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services account for 7 and 6 awards respectively. However, the dollar-obligated figures show that direct Department of Agriculture and Department of Justice prime grants ($756,900 combined) substantially overshadow the sub-awards from the Kansas State Department of Education, which flow through as Title I Low Income, Title II-A, special education, IDEA, ESSER III COVID relief, and general block grants. The district has received at least one award per year since 2011, with activity accelerating in 2024 (14 awards) and 2025 (13 awards) before dropping to 6 awards year-to-date in 2026. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, suggesting limited near-term recompete exposure on the current award portfolio.
