Town Of Scotland Board Of Education

Town Of Scotland Board Of Education is a Connecticut local school district that receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient from the Connecticut Department of Education, with no federal contracting activity.

The district operates as a U.S. government entity (school district) headquartered in Scotland, Connecticut. Its federal footprint consists entirely of grant funding, with no seat on federal contract vehicles, no prime contracting awards, and no subcontracting relationships on federal contracts. All federal activity flows through education grant programs administered by the Department of Education.

The district's grant portfolio reflects sustained engagement with a narrow customer base. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 22 of 27 total federal awards (prime and sub combined), while the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for the remaining five. As prime recipient, Scotland Board of Education holds recurring annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from OESEA, with awards in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 — each carrying a twelve-month performance period running July 1 through September 30 of the following fiscal year. The most recent prime award is dated July 1, 2026 and runs through September 30, 2027.

As a sub-recipient, the district receives federal grant funds passthrough from the Connecticut Department of Education under multiple programs. Recent sub-awards include IDEA 619 and IDEA 611 special education grants (dated September 26, 2025), a Connecticut Stronger Connections Grant (September 23, 2024), IDEA Part B Extended Support Para-Educator funding (May 20, 2024), and an ARP ESSER Small Town Right to Read initiative (January 11, 2024). These represent federal K-12 education, special education, and pandemic-relief education funding flowing to the district through Connecticut's state education agency.

Combined dollars obligated across all 27 awards total $579 thousand over nearly two decades of activity, reflecting modest annual federal funding streams typical of small rural school districts. The district faces one award completion within the next twenty-four months (the fiscal year 2025 Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant completing September 30, 2026), after which renewal applications under recurring formula programs would be required. Activity has been episodic — one or two awards per year through 2023, rising to six in 2024 — likely tracking fluctuations in sub-award pass-throughs from Connecticut Department of Education and standard federal education grant cycles.
