Morris Area Independent School District

Morris Area Independent School District (Morris Area School District No. 2769), a local government school district based in Morris, Minnesota, receives federal education grants as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient from the Minnesota Department of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts; all federal activity is grant-based.

The district's federal footprint is singular and stable. It receives Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (Local Education Agencies) directly from the Department of Education on an annual cycle — awards documented for fiscal years 2022 through 2026, with ultimate completion dates running July 1 through June 30 of each year. The district also receives sub-grant awards from the Minnesota Department of Education, acting as a sub-recipient on state pass-through funding (five sub-awards documented between February 2023 and October 2025, tied to state award numbers 000-401 and 000-414). Total federal dollars obligated across all twelve awards (seven prime, five sub) is $282 thousand. The district serves a single federal customer agency — the Department of Education — representing 100% of its federal award portfolio.

Activity is flat year over year: one award in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, and one documented in 2026. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. As a school district, Morris Area Independent School District operates within the federal K–12 education grant ecosystem; Indian Education Formula Grants support supplemental instruction and services for Native American students served by the district's schools. The district does not bid for federal contracts, does not partner with federal contractors as a subcontractor, and does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition vehicles.
