Taliaferro County Board Of Education

Taliaferro County Board Of Education is a local government school district in Crawfordville, Georgia that receives federal education and nutrition funding as a sub-recipient (97% of recent awards) under grants issued by the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture, with no federal contracting footprint as a prime or subcontractor.

The district operates almost exclusively as a sub-recipient of federal education and nutrition grants channeled through the Georgia Department of Education as the prime grantee. Taliaferro County Board Of Education does not hold federal contracts, GWACs, IDIQs, or BPAs; all federal transacting is grant-based and routed through state intermediaries. The award portfolio reflects a school district's standard federal grant receipt pattern: the overwhelming majority of sub-awards flow from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (199 awards) covering the National School Breakfast Program, National School Lunch Program, and related child nutrition administration. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 46 sub-awards, and smaller education offices contribute an additional 19 sub-awards across special education (IDEA), career technical education (Perkins V), and teacher quality improvement (Title II-A). Representative sub-awards include ongoing National School Lunch Program and National School Breakfast Program reimbursements from Georgia Department of Education (monthly or periodic throughout 2024–2026), Title I-A sub-awards supporting basic academic programs for disadvantaged students, IDEA Part B and IDEA 619 sub-awards for special education services for school-age and early childhood populations, and Perkins V sub-awards for career and technical education programming.

On the prime recipient side, Taliaferro County Board Of Education holds four Small, Rural School Achievement Program grants directly from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (July 2023 through September 2027), all formula grants with rollover cycles. These represent the district's direct federal grant relationship; all other federal funding flows as a sub-recipient from state education departments. The district served five distinct federal customer agencies across the portfolio, with 97% of awards concentrated in Food and Nutrition Service and OESE programming. Award volume declined significantly in 2024 and 2025 (34 and 39 awards, respectively) compared to earlier years (63 in 2022, 84 in 2023), reflecting the routine expiration of pandemic-era emergency grants and the cyclical nature of school district nutrition and education sub-awards. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards totals $5.3 million, with only one award completing within the next twenty-four months and therefore not representing material recompete exposure.
