Parker School District 60 4

Parker School District 60 4, doing business as Parker Elementary School, is a U.S. local government school district in Parker, South Dakota, that receives federal funding as a prime grant recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient of federal education and nutrition funding flowing through the South Dakota Department of Education.

Parker School District is a public K–12 school entity with no federal contract prime awardees and no position on federal contract vehicles. Its federal footprint consists entirely of grant work: the district serves as a prime recipient for Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (five awards annually from July 2022 through July 2026, with ultimate completion dates running through September 2027), and as a sub-recipient of federal K–12 education and child nutrition funding distributed by the South Dakota Department of Education under Title I Basic Grant Allocation, Title IV, Title IIA REAP, National School Lunch Program block grants, and similar elementary and secondary education programs. Over the past five years, the district has received two awards in 2022, seven in 2023, two in 2024, six in 2025, and two in 2026, with a combined obligation of $1.3 million across all prime and sub grants. Prime awards account for 54% of the district's total federal award count; sub-awards through the state represent 46%.

The district's federal customer base concentrates heavily on education and child nutrition. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 25 awards (71% of the portfolio); the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 9 awards (26%), driven by school lunch program funding flowing through South Dakota as the pass-through agent. These two agencies represent 97% of the district's recent federal funding activity. One award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The district does not compete for federal contracts, hold any GWAC or BPA seats, or serve as a subcontractor to federal prime contractors.
