County Of Holt School District 44

County Of Holt School District 44 is a Nebraska public school district that operates as a federal grant recipient, receiving formula grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, and receiving sub-awards from the Nebraska Department of Education for Title I basic grants to local educational agencies, special education (IDEA), and school mental health initiatives. The district holds no federal contracts as a prime or subcontractor and does not sit on any federal contracting vehicles.

The district's federal footprint is entirely grant-funded rather than contract work. As a prime recipient, the district receives annual formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, with awards issued each July for fiscal years running through September of the following year. The most recent prime grant award is dated July 1, 2026, with performance extending through September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district receives pass-through funding from the Nebraska Department of Education across multiple federal grant programs, including Title I Part A basic grants to local educational agencies (LEAs), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B, IDEA Non-Public and Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CEIS), block grants, and a school mental health project. Sub-awards flow continuously throughout the year, with the earliest records dating to November 2022 and the most recent award in May 2026.

Customer concentration is entirely within the federal education space. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 24 awards as the prime source of direct formula grants. The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 18 awards, likely child nutrition program funding. The Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 2 awards. Combined dollars obligated across all 44 awards total $924 thousand, distributed across a mix of small annual formula allocations and episodic sub-grant pass-throughs. Activity accelerated in 2024 (10 awards) and 2025 (11 awards) after a slower 2022–2023 period (2 and 1 awards respectively), suggesting improved tracking or expanded sub-award documentation rather than material program growth. One award is scheduled to reach completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window.
