County Of Butler

County Of Butler, operating as Remington-Whitewater USD 206, is a rural Kansas school district that receives federal education grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient of education and nutrition funding distributed through the Kansas State Department of Education. The district is a U.S. local government entity and school district headquartered in Whitewater, Kansas; it does not hold prime contracts and operates entirely within the federal grant ecosystem.

The district's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in two customer agencies. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 35 awards, while the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 25 awards, representing 100% of the district's recent federal activity. Of the 60 total awards in the source data, the district acts as prime recipient on 20 (33%) and as sub-recipient on 40 (67%), with sub-recipient work flowing through the Kansas State Department of Education as the pass-through grantee.

The district's prime grant work centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Remington-Whitewater received consecutive annual awards in that program on July 1 of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with ultimate completion dates spanning September 30, 2023 through September 30, 2027. The sub-recipient work from Kansas State consists primarily of Block Grant allocations and Title I Low Income funding, with 40 sub-awards distributed between July 2022 and September 2026. Recent sub-awards from Kansas State arrived in monthly tranches throughout 2024, 2025, and 2026, indicating steady pass-through funding for school operations and student support programs.

Award velocity has accelerated in the past three years. The district received two awards in 2022 and two in 2023, followed by eleven in 2024 and eleven in 2025, climbing to seventeen awards year-to-date in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $2.5 million. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating low recompete pressure in the near term. This footprint reflects a school district's stable participation in federal education and child nutrition programs through formula grants and state pass-through mechanisms rather than competitive procurement.
