Monhegan Plantation School Department

Monhegan Plantation School Department, doing business as Monhegan School, is a U.S. local government school district located in Monhegan, Maine, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The school district does not hold federal contracts; all federal activity flows through formula grants and sub-awards passed from the Maine Department of Education.

Monhegan School operates exclusively in the K–12 education sector and has no federal contracting footprint. The vendor's federal engagement consists of two distinct funding streams. As a prime recipient, Monhegan School has received five consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants (July 2022 through July 2026), with the most recent award issued July 1, 2026, running through September 30, 2027. In parallel, the school district receives sub-awards from the Maine Department of Education under federally funded special education and teacher-quality programs designed to support local educational agencies (LEAs), including Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B grants to provide special education and related services to children birth to age twenty, and Title II teacher-quality grants to increase student academic achievement through improved educator preparation and retention. Three such sub-awards were issued in the third and fourth quarters of 2025.

The Department of Education accounts for 100% of Monhegan School's federal awards across both the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (20 awards, covering the Small, Rural School Achievement Program prime grants) and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (2 awards). Combined federal dollars obligated across all twenty-two awards in the source data total $403 thousand. Activity volume remains modest and episodic — one award per year from 2022 through 2024, increasing to four in 2025 (a calendar-year artifact of sub-award timing), and one prime grant in 2026. Only one award (a sub-award) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months; the school's prime grant running through September 30, 2027, extends beyond the recompete cliff window. Monhegan School's federal role is that of a rural LEA recipient of formulaic education-program funding, not a vendor selling goods or services to the federal government or to other federal contractors.
