Shanksville Stony Creek School District

Shanksville Stony Creek School District, doing business as Shanksville Stonycreek School, is a rural Pennsylvania school district (U.S. local government entity) that receives federal education grant funding as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient of nutrition and academic achievement funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

The district's federal footprint is dominated by sub-award grant work (73% of 74 total awards across the source data window) routed through the Pennsylvania Department of Education as prime grantee. The district receives recurring annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education as a direct prime recipient; awards have been issued for July 1 start dates in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with the most recent grant running through September 30, 2027. The bulk of sub-award activity consists of federal meal reimbursement entitlements — the district receives bimonthly or quarterly sub-awards for child nutrition programs (meals and milk reimbursement) flowing through Pennsylvania Education. Beginning in 2024, the award cadence accelerated sharply: one award in 2023, fourteen in 2024, and twenty-two in 2025, reflecting the monthly or bimonthly disbursement cycle for nutrition entitlements. The district also received sub-awards for academic achievement and school improvement initiatives, including support under the American Rescue Plan Act emergency education recovery funding in April 2022 and Title I and Title III sub-grants in late 2022 and December 2025.

The district serves three distinct federal customer agencies: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (41 awards), the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (32 awards), and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (1 award). All funding flows through federal K–12 education and nutrition programs; the district does not hold federal contracts or seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $2.5 million. One award (the Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant ultimately completing September 30, 2027) falls outside the next twenty-four-month recompete window; the remaining sub-awards either have already completed or will complete within that period, reflecting the annual and monthly rhythm of formula and entitlement funding cycles. This award pattern is characteristic of a small, rural public school district with no commercial or contractor footprint in federal procurement — federal support consists entirely of direct appropriations and pass-through entitlements for elementary and secondary education and child nutrition.
