Rogers City Area Schools

Rogers City Area Schools, a Michigan public school district, receives federal education and nutrition grants as a sub-recipient through pass-through funding from the Michigan Department of Education, operating entirely in a sub-recipient capacity (98% of awards) with one prime grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Rogers City Area Schools is a U.S. government entity — a public K–12 school district headquartered at 1033 W Huron Ave, Rogers City, Michigan. The district's federal footprint is exclusively grant-based; it holds no federal contracts and no seats on IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs. Federal funding flows through two grantor agencies: the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (27 awards) and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (14 awards). The district's work centers on Title I, Part A programming for disadvantaged students, teacher and principal professional development, school nutrition support, pandemic recovery assistance (ARP ESSER III), and general DOE and USDA program implementation in Michigan. A single prime grant award, a Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant from the Department of Education, runs through September 30, 2027; the remaining 40 awards represent sub-recipient funding flowing from the Michigan Department of Education as the state-level pass-through agent.

Activity has accelerated modestly in recent years — four awards in 2022 and 2023, six in 2024, ten in 2025, and eight through mid-2026. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $6.7 million. The district's sub-award roster is heavily weighted toward Title I, Part A education-equity programs (multiple awards in 2024, 2025, and 2026) and USDA nutrition-support initiatives, with intermittent support for educator professional development and pandemic-response mitigation. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete exposure. The district has no identified federal contractor relationships and does not serve as a subcontractor to prime recipients; its engagement model is strictly pass-through grant sub-recipient status, making it a downstream education-sector entity rather than a federal supply-chain participant.
