Stanfield Elementary School District 24

Stanfield Elementary School District 24, doing business as Stanfield Elementary School, is a rural Arizona school district that operates as a federal grant recipient, delivering K–12 education services and school security programming funded through formula grants and project grants from the Department of Education and Department of Justice. The district is a U.S. local government entity—a public school district—and competes as a prime recipient for federal education grants (82% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient of pass-through grants from the Arizona Department of Education (18% of recent awards).

The district's federal footprint centers on three recurring grant programs from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education: the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, the Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.044), and the Impact Aid Program Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). These formula and project grants support after-school and summer academic programming in STEM, music, and arts enrichment, as well as educational services for federally connected children—including those living on Indian lands or with parents employed on federal property. The district also serves as a sub-recipient for Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies, IDEA Basic Section 611 subgrants, and ESSER II pandemic-relief grants passed through the Arizona Department of Education. Most recently, on October 1, 2025, the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program awarded the district $435,915 under the School Violence Prevention Program (CFDA 16.071) to improve school security through coordination with local law enforcement, placement of metal detectors and enhanced lighting, installation of emergency-notification technology, and other deterrent measures, with performance running through September 30, 2028.

Customer concentration is narrow and heavily skewed toward the Department of Education. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 58 of 68 total awards (100% coverage of the top-customer list), with the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, the Food and Nutrition Service, and the Community Oriented Policing Program comprising the remaining five awards. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $7.1 million. Activity has grown in recent years—four awards in 2022 to eight in 2025—though only three awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure in that window. The district's sub-award work flows entirely through the Arizona Department of Education as the state pass-through agent for Title I, special education, and pandemic-relief funding.
