Pribilof School District

Pribilof School District, a U.S. local government school district based in St. Paul, Alaska, operates as a prime recipient of federal education grants from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with no federal contracting presence and 93% of recent awards as direct grants to the district.

Pribilof School District serves K-12 students in the geographically isolated Pribilof Islands community. The district qualifies for federal Impact Aid funding (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003) due to enrollment of federally connected children — those living on federal property, including Indian lands, or with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services — at or above the statutory threshold. Federal funding supports comprehensive educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.

The district's federal footprint consists almost entirely of formula grants and project grants from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with 92% of 72 total awards concentrated in that single agency. The core grant portfolio cycles annually: Pribilof School District holds recurring awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grant; annual July 1 award dates), Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (formula grant; annual July 1 award dates), and the Impact Aid Program Section 7003 (project grant; multi-year periods of performance with award dates in February, October, and December). A $845,480 Impact Aid Section 7003 award dated October 1, 2025 carries a performance period running through September 30, 2031; two prior Impact Aid awards span September 30, 2030 and September 30, 2029. The district also receives sub-grant awards from the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development, including a Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant (Cohort 2) sub-award dated October 28, 2025 and a Special Education Title VI-B LEA Grants sub-award from October 2022.

Combined potential value across all 72 awards totals $55 thousand, but combined dollars obligated reach $18.4 million, reflecting the district's role as a pass-through recipient deploying federal formula and project grant dollars into local K-12 educational operations. Award volume has remained flat at two to four awards per year over the past five years. Two awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete timing for formula-grant renewal cycles in 2027. The district holds no federal contract vehicles, no IDIQs, and no teaming relationships with defense or civilian contractors; its federal engagement is purely grant-recipient in nature through the Department of Education.
