Stanton School District

Stanton School District, operating as Stanton High School, is a U.S. local government entity and school district located in Stanton, Nebraska that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient from the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the federal grant space, with 60% of its awards routed through state and federal sub-award structures rather than direct prime grants.

The district's federal footprint centers on K-12 education funding and child nutrition programs. As a prime recipient, Stanton High School has received five direct awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with successive annual awards on July 1, 2022 through July 1, 2026, each running through the subsequent fiscal year. As a sub-recipient, the district receives the majority of its federal funding (30 sub-awards tracked in the source data) through the Department of Education Nebraska as the prime grantee, drawing from Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies, Title I Part A Basic Grants to LEAs, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funding streams including IDEA Part B and CEIS allocations, state block grants, and a documented School Mental Health Project award from May 2024. The district also receives sub-awards from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, which accounts for 20 awards in the tracked portfolio.

Customer concentration is narrow and predictable. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 27 awards, the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service for 20 awards, and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services for 3 awards, covering 100% of recent activity. Combined obligated dollars across all awards in the source data total $1.3 million. Activity has accelerated in recent years — one award in 2022, four in 2023, thirteen in 2024, eleven in 2025, and five in 2026 — though the increase reflects sub-award volume growth rather than expanded prime capacity. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete cliff exposure for the district in the near term. Federal contractors and sub-contractors in education services, special education support, and school nutrition will encounter Stanton High School as a customer rather than as a supply partner; the district operates exclusively as a grant recipient and does not procure federal contracts or serve as a contracting intermediary.
