Mccrory School District

Mccrory School District (doing business as Superintendents Office), a U.S. local government school district based in McCrory, Arkansas, receives federal grants as a prime recipient through the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient of pass-through funds from the Arkansas Department of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the grant funding space, with 59% of its recorded awards as a sub-recipient of education and nutrition program funds flowing from state intermediaries.

The district's prime grant footprint centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with consecutive annual formula grants awarded July 1, 2022 through July 1, 2026 (most recently with ultimate completion by September 30, 2027). Beyond formula funding, Mccrory received a project grant from the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program (October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026) to implement school safety and security improvements through evidence-based threat/risk vulnerability analysis, emergency crisis planning updates, and coordination with local law enforcement and community partners — work performed with subcontractors including Pramantha Group (security subject matter expertise), AAMSCO Identification Services, Schlage, and others focused on access control and facility hardening.

The district's sub-recipient work channels through the Arkansas Department of Education and represents the majority of its recorded federal funding activity. Sub-awards span Title I personnel and academic support (improving teacher and principal quality, student achievement support, after-school and summer tutoring), Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) program funds for technology integration and well-rounded education, special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for both school-age and early childhood services, and federal child nutrition program reimbursement for breakfast, lunch, and after-school snacks prepared and served to federal nutrition standards. The nutrition reimbursement sub-awards appear annually (July 1 and October 1 dates consistent with fiscal-year claiming cycles) across the source data from 2022 forward.

Combined potential dollars across all recorded awards total $2 million, with the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounting for 25 of 39 awards, the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service for 9, and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services for 4. Activity peaked in 2023 with 11 awards and has stabilized in recent years (6 awards in 2024, 7 in 2025, 1 recorded award in 2026). One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
