Minot Public School District 1

Minot Public School District 1, a U.S. local government school district based in Minot, North Dakota, operates as a grant recipient (12% of recent awards) and predominantly as a sub-recipient under federal grants (88% of recent awards), with no federal contract prime or subcontract work. The district receives funding and sub-awards exclusively through formula and project grants administered by the Department of Education and Department of Agriculture.

The district's federal grant footprint is concentrated in K-12 nutrition and education programs routed through state intermediaries. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service funds 201 awards for child nutrition programs, including the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), all sub-awarded through the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education funds 61 awards for special education (IDEA Part B and Part C preschool), Title I disadvantaged-student support, Title II teacher professional development, Title III English learner services, and Title IV student support programs, also sub-awarded through North Dakota DPI. The district also holds a direct prime grant from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060), with annual funding cycles running July through June covering the past three fiscal years (2024, 2025, 2026). A Head Start and Early Head Start project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (CFDA 93.600) running from June 2024 through May 2029 represents the district's only multi-year direct prime award. Additional sub-awards flow through the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction for 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC), adult education programs, and discretionary special education grants, with secondary funding from the Department of Health and Human Services for rural health transformation and other categorical programs.

Recent activity shows sustained federal grant engagement: seven awards in 2022 grew to seventy-two in 2024, with sixty-five in 2025 and sixty-nine in 2026. The combined potential value on record is limited to six thousand dollars—a data artifact reflecting that nutrition program sub-awards and formula grants are reported without dollar ceilings in the source system. Actual obligated dollars total $137.9 million across the portfolio, indicating the district's true federal funding scale. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, signaling minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The district operates under federal education and nutrition statutes with no SBA set-aside designations; awards are distributed by statutory formula or competitive selection through state education agencies.
