About the company
Unified School Dist 247 (USD 247), a U.S. government entity operating as a rural public school district headquartered in Cherokee, Kansas, is a recipient of federal education grants under the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, competing as a prime recipient rather than a contractor. The district does not hold federal contracts or seats on government-wide contract vehicles; its federal footprint is grant-only.
USD 247's grant activity centers on two federal grantor agencies. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has awarded the district five direct prime grants — all formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program — with awards dated July 1 in each of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, and ultimate completion dates running through September 30, 2027. The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service has awarded the district sub-grant funding flowing through the Kansas State Department of Education. Across 56 total awards in the source (13 prime, 43 sub-awards), the top two funding agencies by award count represent 100% of activity: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (37 awards) and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (19 awards). The sub-award category dominates USD 247's portfolio — 77% of awards are sub-awards, the majority routed through the Kansas State Department of Education as the pass-through prime grantee. Sub-award descriptions are principally Block Grants and Title I Low Income funds, with one Improving Teacher Quality sub-award visible in the historical record (August 2022).
Activity has accelerated in recent years. The district received 3 awards each in 2022 and 2023, then grew to 13 awards in 2024 and 13 in 2025, with 14 awards recorded through September 2026. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, creating a low recompete cliff. Combined obligated dollars across all 56 awards total $3 million, reflecting the modest scale typical of rural school district federal grant portfolios. USD 247 does not subcontract or partner with for-profit vendors in its grant work; the district functions as an end-recipient of education funding, not as a procurement entity for federal contractors seeking teaming opportunities or sub-award positions.
