Mcclave School District RE2

Mcclave School District RE2 (doing business as MC Clave School) is a U.S. local government school district in McClave, Colorado, operating as a recipient of federal education and nutrition grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service. The district does not hold prime federal contracts; it operates entirely in the federal grants space, holding 18 prime grant awards (28% of its total awards) and receiving 47 sub-grant awards (72%) from state intermediaries, primarily the Colorado Board of Education.

The district's primary federal grant work centers on K–12 education and school nutrition programs. As a prime recipient, Mcclave School District holds five consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards issued July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026 (most recent award issued July 1, 2026, with completion by September 30, 2027). The district also receives sub-grants flowing from the Colorado Board of Education under Title I (supporting disadvantaged students), Title II (teacher quality and professional development), Title IV (student support and academic enrichment), nutrition block grants (National School Lunch Program and related child nutrition assistance), and emergency relief programs (ESSER I and ESSER III). Recent sub-awards include Nutrition Block funding (recurring monthly and quarterly from 2023 forward), Title IA and Title II allocations from the Colorado Board of Education, Summer EBT (Emergency Benefits Transfer) nutrition assistance, a USDA National School Lunch Program Equipment Assistance Grant, 21st Century afterschool programming, and school-based mental health support. In December 2023, the district also received a sub-grant from the Colorado Executive Office specifically supporting a full-time science teacher position and computer equipment for student learning.

Customer concentration is stark. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Food and Nutrition Service account for 95% of the district's awards (38 and 24 awards respectively); all federal education and nutrition funding flows through or originates from these two agencies. Over the past five years, award volume has grown from two awards in 2022 to nineteen in 2025, with eleven awards issued in 2026 year-to-date. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $1.5 million. Only one award faces completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating stable, recurring formula-grant and sub-grant funding with minimal recompete pressure in that window.
