School District Of Crandon, Inc.

School District Of Crandon, Inc., a U.S. local government entity and K-12 school district headquartered in Crandon, Wisconsin, operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient—not a federal contractor—receiving funds from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and, secondarily, the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Justice. The district does not hold federal contracts or IDVs and does not compete in federal procurement; it qualifies as a grant recipient under statutory eligibility formulas tied to student enrollment, school location, and federally connected student populations.

The district's federal grant footprint centers on three primary Education Department programs. Impact Aid Program awards under Title VII, Sections 7002 and 7003 (CFDA 84.041) dominate the prime portfolio, compensating for lost local tax revenue in districts serving students living or working on federal property; recent Impact Aid awards include a $915,402 project grant (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031) for educational services to federally connected students, with additional project grants under both sections running through fiscal years 2027 through 2031. Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060) fund culturally responsive instruction and professional development for Native students; the district received $102,156 on July 1, 2026 (performance through June 30, 2027) for curriculum development and teacher training addressing tribal histories, languages, and cultures. The Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grant) provides supplemental support tied to rural status and limited resources. The district also received a $402,336 project grant from the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office under the School Violence Prevention Program (October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025), funding evidence-based school security improvements and technology.

As a sub-recipient, Crandon School District flows through grants from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, routing federal funds for special education (IDEA Part B, Sections 611 and 619), Title I compensatory education (CFDA 84.010), teacher professional development (Title II-A, CFDA 84.367), the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), and the Wisconsin Project AWARE mental-health initiative (CFDA 93.243). Recent sub-award activity shows recurring monthly NSLP allocations and semi-annual IDEA, Title I, and Title II-A distributions through Wisconsin DPI, with sub-awards spanning July 2022 through July 2026.

Over the past five years, the district has received 57 awards total (prime and sub combined), growing from four awards in 2022 to eighteen in 2025 and eight so far in 2026. The top five customer agencies account for 95% of the award count, with the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education anchoring 65 awards across formula and project grant vehicles. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, principally through NSLP pass-throughs, represents 17 sub-awards. Combined dollars obligated across all 96 awards in source data total $19.8 million. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating a stable multi-year grant pipeline with minimal near-term recompete exposure.
