Park County School District Re-2

Park County School District Re-2, a local government entity headquartered in Fairplay, Colorado, receives federal education and nutrition grants as a prime recipient (28% of recent awards) and operates predominantly as a sub-recipient of Department of Education and Department of Agriculture funding (72% of recent awards). The district does not hold prime federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant funding routed through state and federal education grant programs.

The district's funding concentration is narrow and stable. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service account for 95% of recent awards — the former through the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (a formula grant), the latter through nutrition block grants and related child nutrition programs. The district also receives smaller awards from the Department of Education's Office of English Language Acquisition. Four Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants constitute the prime recipient role: awards dated July 2022 through July 2026, with the most recent award (July 1, 2026) running through September 30, 2027.

Sub-recipient activity dominates the portfolio. The Board of Education Colorado serves as the prime grantee for 44 sub-awards to Park County School District Re-2 spanning nutrition programs (Nutrition Block awards monthly from January 2024 through June 2026), Title I, Title II, Title III, and Title IV education-support programs, charter school facility assistance, summer EBT, and the Colorado Learning Supports District (CLSD) Cohort 2 initiative. The sub-awards reflect pass-through funding for operational school programs — classroom instruction, teacher professional development, English language learner services, student support services, and student nutrition — rather than contracted service delivery. Award velocity increased from one award per year in 2022–2023 to eleven in 2024, with 23 awards in 2025 and 12 through July 2026; this uptick reflects granular monthly sub-award tracking of nutrition block distributions rather than growth in substantive program volume. The district holds one award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. Combined dollars obligated across the entire portfolio total $1.5 million, reflecting typical federal education and nutrition funding for a small rural district.
