About the company
Prairie Lakes Area Education Agency, a U.S. local government entity and public school district based in Fort Dodge, Iowa, acts as a federal grant sub-recipient (83% of recent awards) and occasional prime recipient, delivering mental health training and special education support services across its regional service area of fifty school districts in northwest Iowa serving approximately thirty thousand students.
The organization's federal footprint is small but diversified across education-focused grantor agencies. Prairie Lakes holds one prime federal grant award — a mental health awareness training project funded by the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services. That project grant, awarded September 30, 2021, with ultimate completion June 30, 2024, focused on youth mental health first aid (YMHFA) and mental health first aid (MHFA) instructor training. Over five years, the project trained additional educators in recognizing mental health disorders and de-escalation strategies, trained administrators in suicide risk assessment and referral, and sponsored Teen Mental Health First Aid (TMHFA) instructors to reach an estimated seven thousand students across the region's high schools.
The remaining five awards are sub-grants flowing from the Iowa Department of Education as prime grantee, awarded between July 2025 and September 2025. These sub-awards cover Part B and Part C special education programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Title I grants to local education agencies, and English Language Acquisition programming for limited English proficient children. Combined potential value across all six awards is $7.9 million obligated. The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for three awards, while SAMHSA, the Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition, and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education each account for one award, reflecting 100% customer concentration across four distinct federal agencies within the Department of Education and Department of Health and Human Services. Activity remains episodic — one award in 2021, then a five-year gap before five sub-awards clustered in summer 2025 — suggesting recent expansion of Prairie Lakes' federal grant participation through the Iowa education system's pass-through awards.
