Brooklin Town Of

Brooklin Town Of, doing business as Brooklin Elementary, is a public school district in Brooklin, Maine, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient from the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture. The entity operates as a child unit within the Town of Isle Au Haut municipal structure and holds no federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of education and nutrition grants flowing through state and federal pass-through mechanisms.

Brooklin Elementary receives direct prime grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards issued annually on July 1st covering fiscal periods running through September 30th of the following year. The most recent such grant was issued July 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027. The entity also functions as a sub-recipient on a substantially larger portfolio of grants passed through the Maine Department of Education, spanning special education services, teacher quality and professional development, nutrition and school lunch programs (National School Lunch Program and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program), pandemic relief, and well-rounded education initiatives. Representative sub-award work includes special education and related services grants to local educational agencies serving children birth to age 20 with disabilities, multiple National School Lunch Program awards providing cash grants and food donations for school meals, and Title II grants supporting teacher and principal quality improvement. Federal funding comes from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service.

Customer concentration is narrow and stable. Three federal agencies account for 100% of awards: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (28 awards), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (18 awards), and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (4 awards). The entity operates primarily as a sub-recipient (62% of awards, 31 of 50 total); 38% of awards are prime grants received directly. Recent activity shows 14 awards in 2024, nine in 2025, and two in 2026, with only one award reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $468 thousand, reflecting the modest scale of a small rural elementary school district's federal grant portfolio. All work is performed at the Brooklin, Maine school facility.
