Warwick School District 29

Warwick School District 29, a U.S. local government entity and school district based in Warwick, North Dakota, is a federal grant recipient that receives educational funding and student support services from the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture. The district operates as a prime recipient on education and nutrition grants (37% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient flowing funds through the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (63% of recent awards), with no federal contract prime or subcontract footprint.

The district's federal work centers on two primary funding streams. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education funds 52 awards covering Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Education Agencies (formula grants renewed annually, most recently July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), Impact Aid Program Title VII Section 7003 funding (CFDA 84.041), and the Small Rural School Achievement Program. The $1.872 million Impact Aid award dated October 1, 2025 (running through September 30, 2031) provides federal replacement revenue for Warwick School District 29 where at least three percent of average daily attendance consists of eligible federally connected children living on federal property or Indian lands, or whose parents work on federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services. A prior Impact Aid award from December 16, 2024 (completing September 30, 2030) and another from April 18, 2023 (completing September 30, 2028) are also active. The district received $1.2 million from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for the expansion of Warwick Public Elementary School and Middle School (awarded April 1, 2022, completed March 31, 2025).

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service supplies 68 awards flowing through sub-grants from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction for the National School Lunch Program Free and Reduced Price Meals (NSLP Free/Red), the School Breakfast Program (SBP), and the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP). These nutrition sub-awards are issued monthly or quarterly on a recurring basis; the most recent batch of nutrition sub-awards are dated September 11, 2026. The district also receives sub-awards for Child Nutrition Block Grants, Title I Comingle Grants, and state FIRST program funding through the same pass-through vehicle. The district has two awards under the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Indian Education.

Activity has grown from two awards in 2022 to 24 awards in 2024 and 22 in 2026, with most growth driven by recurring nutrition and Title I sub-awards. Only one award (combined potential value not specified in source) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete exposure. Combined dollars obligated across all 124 awards total $40.2 million. The district serves four distinct federal customer agencies, all domestic education and nutrition funders with no defense or intelligence agency exposure.
