Scranton Public School Dist 33

Scranton Public School District 33 (doing business as Scranton 33), a U.S. local government school district headquartered in Scranton, North Dakota, receives federal grants as a direct recipient under the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient of U.S. Department of Agriculture child nutrition funding administered by the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction. The district does not hold federal contracts or serve as a prime contractor.

Scranton 33's federal footprint centers on K–12 education funding and school meal programs. As a prime grant recipient, the district receives annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 in each of 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, each carrying an ultimate completion date of September 30 of the following fiscal year. As a sub-recipient, the district draws sub-awards from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Free and Reduced-Price Lunch component, NSLP Paid component, and the Commodity Nutrition (CN) Block program — federal child nutrition assistance flowing from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service.

All 44 awards in the source represent either prime direct grants or pass-through sub-awards; the district holds no position on federal contract vehicles, BPAs, or GWACs. The top two customer agencies account for all tracked awards: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service represents 27 awards (primarily monthly NSLP disbursements and commodity blocks), and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education represents 17 awards (the four prime Small, Rural School Achievement grants plus thirteen additional education sub-awards). Award activity has accelerated in the past two years — two awards in 2024, fourteen in 2025, and thirteen in 2026 — though this reflects the monthly cadence of nutrition sub-awards rather than contract pursuit growth. Combined dollars obligated across all recorded awards total $197 thousand, a figure that reflects SAM reporting constraints on sub-award visibility and likely understates total nutrition funding flowing to the district. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
