School District Of New Lisbon

School District Of New Lisbon, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in New Lisbon, Wisconsin, receives federal education and school safety grants as a prime recipient (25% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient under state pass-through awards (75% of recent awards). The district does not hold federal contracts and competes only in the grant space, where it operates as an education agency rather than a vendor.

The district's grant portfolio is heavily weighted toward child nutrition and special education formula allocations flowing through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction as the intermediary state grantee. Over the past five years, activity has grown from two awards in 2022 to nineteen in 2025, with eight awards in 2026 to date, for a total of $2.6 million obligated across forty-eight prime and sub awards. The top five federal agencies by award count account for 92% of recent activity: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (26 awards, primarily National School Lunch Program sub-awards passing through Wisconsin DPI), the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (13 awards, including Small Rural School Achievement Program formula grants as prime recipient and Title I sub-awards), the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (3 awards for IDEA Part B special education formula funding), the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program (1 award), and the Department of Education Office of Innovation and Improvement (1 award). The concentration is dominated by recurring monthly NSLP sub-awards; monthly pass-through awards from Wisconsin DPI to the district span from July 2024 through at least July 2026.

As a prime recipient, the district holds direct formula grant awards from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small Rural School Achievement Program in four consecutive annual cycles (July 2023 through September 2027), plus a project grant from the Community Oriented Policing Program (COPS) School Violence Prevention Program awarded October 1, 2022, with ultimate completion September 30, 2025. The COPS grant supports evidence-based school safety programs and technology to improve security and reduce school violence. The district also received a federal grant sub-award in November 2025 for a New Lisbon Schools Cyber Mitigation Program targeting Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and Security Operations Center (SOC) services, alongside multi-factor authentication implementation to strengthen cybersecurity defenses and protect student and staff data. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the immediate pipeline.
