Mound City R-2 School District

Mound City R-2 School District, a local government school district headquartered in Mound City, Missouri, is a federal grant recipient providing K-12 education services and supplemental academic support funded through federal formula grants and pass-through sub-awards from the Department of Education and related agencies. The district operates as both a direct prime recipient (53% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient of funds flowing through the Missouri Department of Education and other state agencies (47% of recent awards); the district does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles.

The district's federal grant footprint centers on elementary and secondary education programs. As a prime recipient, Mound City R-2 has received five consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards issued July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026, running through September 30 of the following year. As a sub-recipient, the district draws funds through the Missouri Department of Education for Title I Part A (Educationally Deprived), IDEA Part B (special education), and CNP Block Consolidated (Child Nutrition Program) grants, with multiple annual sub-awards per program dating back to 2022. The district also received American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief (ARP-ESSER) funds passed through the Missouri Department of Education in January 2023 and March 2024. In January 2022, the district received a sub-award from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services supporting COVID-19 screening testing programs in K-12 schools.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which accounts for 29 of 38 awards (76% coverage by count). The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (4 awards), the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (2 awards), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (1 award) comprise the remainder. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $2 million. Activity has remained modest and relatively flat, averaging four awards per year from 2022 through 2024, dipping to three in 2025, and rising back to four in 2026. Only one award reaches completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure.
