North Butler Community School District

North Butler Community School District, a rural public school district based in Allison, Iowa, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Education as a prime grant recipient and also receives sub-award funding through Iowa's Department of Education. The district operates as a U.S. local government entity and does not hold federal contracts.

The district's entire federal funding footprint derives from a single customer agency — the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education — accounting for all 21 awards in the source data. North Butler holds 90% of its awards as a prime grant recipient; the remaining two awards are sub-grants passed through Iowa's Department of Education. The district has received five successive annual awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (a formula grant) spanning July 2022 through the current cycle ending September 2027. In parallel, the district receives Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies sub-award funding through the state department, with sub-awards documented in July 2024 and July 2025 covering core Title I, Title I Delinquent, and Title I School Improvement Section 1003 programs. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $661 thousand over the source data window (2007–2026), reflecting the formula-grant structure and rural-district scale characteristic of small-district federal support.

Award activity has remained flat across the measurement period — one to two awards per year in 2022–2025 and one documented award in 2026 — with only one award scheduled to complete within the next twenty-four months. The district's federal role is straightforward: it is a direct beneficiary of elementary and secondary education formula funding intended to support small rural school operations, not a vendor supplying services or goods to federal agencies. For federal contractors evaluating partnerships, teaming arrangements, or acquisition targets, North Butler's profile is relevant only in narrow contexts — for example, as a site of performance for education-technology implementers or curriculum-services providers under Department of Education cooperative agreements, or as a potential sub-recipient under a prime education grant held by a contractor. The district itself does not compete for federal contracts and does not operate government-wide vehicles or BPAs.
