Vector School District Inc.

Vector School District Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit K-12 educational organization in Chandler, Arizona, is a federal grant recipient (77% of recent awards as prime recipient) that delivers comprehensive educational services to federally connected student populations under Department of Education formula and project grants. The district does not hold federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor on contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grants from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Vector School District receives recurring annual funding under two grant programs: Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs and Impact Aid Program Title VII, Section 7003. The Indian Education Formula Grants support services for Native American students; the most recent award under this program is a formula grant with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027. The Impact Aid Program Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041) provides federal replacement tax revenue for school districts serving high percentages of federally connected children — those residing on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or serving on active duty. Vector School District's largest named grant award is a $293,723 Impact Aid Section 7003 project grant awarded October 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2031, funding K-12 general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. The district's eligible student population includes children with federal connections at or above the three-percent threshold required for Section 7003 eligibility.

Vector School District also receives sub-awards from the Arizona Department of Education as the prime grantee. Since 2022, the district has been a sub-recipient on nine federal grants distributed through Arizona DOE, including Title I funding (run-a-program sub-awards), IDEA Basic Section 611 special education grants, and American Rescue Plan ESSER III funding. These sub-awards support instruction, special education staffing, and pandemic recovery programming.

The district's federal award base is modest and concentrated in a single customer — the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 37 of 44 total awards in the source data, with the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and the Department of Education itself together accounting for the remaining 7 awards. Total obligated dollars across all federal sources sum to $4.6 million. Activity has remained flat over the past five years (four awards in 2022, 2024, and 2025; five in 2023; one in 2026 year to date), with only one award facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months — indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure and a stable multi-year grant pipeline extending through 2031.
