County Of Teller School District Re 1

County Of Teller School District Re 1, doing business as Cripple Creek Victor School District 1, is a Colorado-based public school district that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient (39% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient (61% of recent awards) through pass-through arrangements with state education agencies. The district operates as a U.S. local government entity and does not hold federal contracts.

The district's federal award footprint centers on K–12 education and early childhood development programming. As a prime recipient, the district holds a $1.798 million five-year Head Start and Early Head Start project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (CFDA 93.600, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031), delivering comprehensive early childhood education, health support, nutritional services, and family engagement to infants, toddlers, preschool-aged children, and pregnant women in the Cripple Creek and Victor area. The district also received a multi-year school security award from the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program (awarded October 1, 2022, completion March 31, 2026) supporting evidence-based school safety programs and technology implementation. The district has received recurring Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education across 2022 through 2025 cycles.

As a sub-recipient, the district receives the bulk of its federal funding through pass-through awards from the Board of Education Colorado. Since 2023, it has received 44 sub-awards funding Title IA (targeted aid for disadvantaged students), Title II (teacher professional development), Title IV (school safety and student support), nutrition block grants, the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, ESSER III pandemic relief expenditures, and related K–12 programming. These sub-awards flow from Department of Education and Department of Agriculture grantor agencies and represent consistent annual allocations across multiple federal education programs.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to education funding. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 44 awards (61% of total), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service for 18 awards (25%), and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families for nine awards combined (13%). The Department of Justice accounts for one award. The district has obligated $39 million across 72 awards since 2003. Activity has grown from two awards in 2022 to eighteen in 2025, with eight awards recorded in 2026 to date. One award is scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months. As a public school district, Cripple Creek Victor School District 1 is required to provide 20 percent non-federal matching funds on Head Start and must comply with federal audit and compliance requirements under 2 CFR Part 200 and 45 CFR Part 75.
