Regional District No 1

Regional District No 1 Regional School District 1 Division, doing business as Sharon Center School, is a U.S. local government school district based in Sharon, Connecticut that receives federal education grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The entity operates as a child division of Regional School District NO. 1 (which does business as Regional School & Service Center) and has no federal contract footprint — all federal activity is grant-funded.

Sharon Center School's federal award portfolio centers entirely on elementary and secondary education grants. The school district has received five consecutive annual awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA not specified) from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 annually from 2022 through 2026, running through September 30 of each following year. Combined federal dollars obligated across all eighteen awards in the source data total $233 thousand, reflecting the modest scale typical of rural school district federal participation. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 100% of all awards by count (16 awards), with two additional sub-grants received from the Connecticut Department of Education: an ARP ESSER Small Town Right to Read sub-award dated November 27, 2023, and a SNAP State and Local PEBT sub-award dated October 1, 2022. The school district also appears once in the data as a sub-recipient on a Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service award.

Activity has been episodic. The source data spans awards from 2007 through 2026, but recent trajectory shows one award per year for 2024, 2025, and 2026 under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant. One award (the most recent as of the source date in October 2026) will reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. As a U.S. government entity and school district, Sharon Center School does not compete for federal contracts under SBA set-asides, competitive procurement, or government-wide acquisition vehicles — federal participation is limited to formula grants and sub-grants flowing from state and federal education programs. The entity operates as a sub-recipient in its limited grant sub-award activity, with no contracting capability or vehicle position.
