Quinter Unified School District

Quinter Unified School District, doing business as Quinter Junior-Senior High School, is a U.S. local government entity and rural Kansas school district that operates as a federal grant recipient serving K–12 students at two school sites. The district has received all of its recent federal funding as a prime recipient across education, school safety, telemedicine, and violence-prevention grant programs administered by the Department of Education, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Justice, with no federal contract prime or subcontract activity.

Quinter Unified's federal grant portfolio centers on K–12 education and community safety programming in a rural setting. The district's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which accounts for 20 of 23 awards (87% coverage) through the Small, Rural School Achievement Program — a formula grant vehicle providing recurring annual funding since at least 2022. Beyond the education baseline, Quinter has received targeted project grants for specialized school safety and community resilience initiatives: a Community Oriented Policing Program project grant awarded October 1, 2023, for physical security infrastructure (door monitoring systems, LED lighting, cloud-based security cameras, mass notification software, and reunification capability) designed in collaboration with the Gove County Sheriff's Office and addressed to security vulnerabilities identified across the school buildings; a parallel Bureau of Justice Assistance project grant also awarded October 1, 2023, running through September 30, 2027, for Project SECURE, a violence-prevention and school-climate initiative grounded in multi-tiered systems of support, social-emotional learning assessments, behavioral threat assessments, and staff training in constructive emergency practices; and a $337,192 Distance Learning and Telemedicine project grant from the Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service, awarded August 7, 2023, to deploy telemedicine equipment and services for remote medical and educational delivery to the rural student population.

Activity has been modest and episodic — one award in 2022, four in 2023, one each in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — with combined dollars obligated across all twenty-three awards totaling $1.8 million. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore require recompete or renewal planning. The district operates without federal contracting capability and does not engage as a subcontractor to other federal recipients or contractors.
