Selby Area School District 62-5

Selby Area School District 62-5, a South Dakota public K–12 school district operating as "Selby Area School," receives federal education and nutrition grants as a prime recipient and as a sub-recipient flowing from the South Dakota Department of Education, with no prime federal contracting footprint. The district is a U.S. government entity (public school district) and operates under the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service.

Selby Area School's federal grant portfolio concentrates heavily on formula-driven education and nutrition programs. As a prime recipient, the district holds five annual awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with the most recent award dated July 1, 2026 and ultimate completion of September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district flows funds from the South Dakota Department of Education across Title I basic grant allocations, Title IIA Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) funds, Title IV block grants, IDEA Part B flowthrough special education funding, and National School Lunch Program (NSLP) block grant claims. The source documents sub-award activity spanning October 2023 through July 2026, capturing recurring annual cycles for school-lunch nutrition reimbursement and special education entitlements, alongside Title I and Title IV allocations supporting school improvement and student support services.

Across the last five years of source data (2022–2026), the district has received nineteen total federal awards: five as prime recipient (26%) and fourteen as sub-recipient (74%) flowing through South Dakota's education agency. Total combined dollars obligated stand at $961 thousand across the period. Customer concentration is dominated by education and nutrition agencies — the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for eleven awards, the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service for five awards, and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services for two awards, covering 95% of the award footprint. Activity has grown from one award in 2022 to six in 2025, with two awards recorded in the current year (2026). One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure near term. The district operates as a pass-through recipient of federal education entitlements and nutrition funds rather than as a federal contractor or competitive grant applicant.
