Pocahontas County Board Of Education

Pocahontas County Board Of Education, a West Virginia county school district and local government entity based in Buckeye, West Virginia, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient (7% of recent awards) and predominantly as a sub-recipient (93%) flowing through the West Virginia Department of Education. The district does not hold federal contract vehicles or prime contract awards.

The district's federal footprint centers on K–12 education and child nutrition programs. As a prime grant recipient, Pocahontas County Board of Education has received three recent project grants: a $408,631 award from the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710) for school violence prevention and security improvements, running through September 2027; a distance learning and telemedicine grant from the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service under CFDA 10.855 for $462,000 (completed September 2024) to expand telecommunications and computer networks for educational delivery in rural West Virginia; and a current distance learning grant from the Rural Utilities Service awarded August 2025, running through August 2027. The overwhelming majority of recent activity — 75 awards (93% of all awards, 81 total across the source window) — consists of sub-awards flowing through the West Virginia Department of Education. These sub-recipient flows support National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) reimbursements; Title I, Title II, and Title V education grants; special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); school improvement initiatives; and 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) programming for after-school academic enrichment and family engagement.

Customer concentration is stark and stable. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 58 awards (72% of the district's recent award count), reflecting recurring monthly or quarterly NSLP breakfast and lunch reimbursement sub-awards and SFSP administrative and operating reimbursements from the state pass-through. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 13 awards, with the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service, the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, and the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program contributing four, three, and two awards respectively. Activity has accelerated sharply — two awards per year in 2022 and 2023 to eighteen in 2024 and thirty-three in 2025 — reflecting increased nutrition-program and education-grant sub-award throughput. Only one award in the portfolio reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The district operates as a grant recipient within federal education and child nutrition systems rather than as a federal contractor or service vendor; its federal relationship is transactional funding distribution aligned with K–12 operational missions.
