Rolette Public School

Rolette Public School, a U.S. local government school district located in Rolette, North Dakota, operates as a prime recipient of federal education and child nutrition grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, and as a sub-recipient of pass-through funding from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction. The district receives no federal contracts and does not compete for procurement vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards under education and nutrition assistance programs.

Rolette Public School's federal activity centers on three recurring prime grant programs. Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (Local Educational Agencies) provide annual funding; the district received awards with ultimate completion dates of June 30, 2023, June 30, 2024, June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2026, with the most recent award issued July 1, 2026 for the period ending June 30, 2027. The district also holds Impact Aid Program (Title VII, Section 7003) project grants with completion windows extending to September 30, 2029, September 30, 2030, and September 30, 2031, awarded in October 2023, December 2024, and October 2025 respectively. A Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant with completion date September 30, 2026 was awarded July 1, 2025. These three programs account for the district's prime recipient role, representing 30 of 114 total awards in the source data.

The vast majority of Rolette Public School's federal footprint—84 awards, or 74% of the total—consists of sub-awards flowing from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction as the prime grantee. Sub-awards track child nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program Free/Reduced reimbursements, National School Lunch Program Paid reimbursements, School Breakfast Program, and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program), Title I education funding (commingled allocations for fiscal years 2023–2024, 2024–2025, and 2025–2026), and episodic supplemental grants including ESSER III Choice Ready Grants, ESSER III Title VI Supplemental, Title II Grants to LEAs, and ND CLIMBS. Sub-awards issued monthly and quarterly through June 2026 show continuing draw-down of funding from state pass-throughs.

Customer concentration is absolute: 67 of 114 awards (59%) fund USDA Food and Nutrition Service child nutrition programs, and 46 awards (40%) fund Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education education initiatives, accounting for 99% of all awards. Combined dollars obligated across all 114 awards total $1.5 million, reflecting the formula-grant and pass-through nature of the funding rather than project-based procurement. Activity has grown steadily—three awards in 2022, nineteen in 2023, eighteen in 2024, twenty-seven in 2025, and twenty-six in 2026—tracking annual reauthorization cycles and quarterly nutrition reimbursements rather than competitive solicitation. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable, recurring grant streams with minimal recompete risk in that window.
