Mcintosh School District 15-1

Mcintosh School District 15-1, a local government school district based in McIntosh, South Dakota, receives federal education funding as a grant recipient from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district operates primarily as a prime recipient (61% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient of pass-through grants from state intermediaries (39% of awards), with no federal contracting activity.

The district's federal funding footprint centers on two primary grant streams. Impact Aid awards under Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041) replace lost local property tax revenue on federally exempt property and support K-12 education for federally connected children; the district holds active Impact Aid grants awarded October 1, 2025 (ultimate completion September 30, 2031, $1.339 million) and earlier cycles running through 2029 and 2028. Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (Local Education Agencies) provide supplemental funding for Native American students; the district received awards on July 1, 2026 (completion June 30, 2027) and annually in prior cycles. Sub-recipients status flows through the South Dakota Department of Education as the prime grantee for Title I Basic Grant Allocation, Title IV grants, Title IIA Rural and Low-Income School Program (REAP), IDEA Flowthrough Part B special education, National School Lunch Program (NSLP) block grants, and Title I School Improvement allocations. The district also receives Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools Program funding passed through the State of South Dakota.

Federal education funding accounts for 97% of the district's recent award count (52 awards from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education), with supplemental awards from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (10 awards, likely school meal subsidies). Total obligation across all awards sits at $23 million. Only one award reaches ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating a stable, predictable funding stream with minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The district's grant portfolio reflects its status as a rural, federally impacted school district in South Dakota eligible for statutory formula allocations rather than competitive procurement.
