About the company
Western Plains USD 106, operating as Western Plains South Elementary / Junior High, is a U.S. local government school district based in Ransom, Kansas, that receives federal educational grants as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient of block grants and Title I funds flowing through the Kansas State Department of Education.
The district's federal footprint consists entirely of grant funding — no contracts or contract vehicles — distributed across educational assistance programs. As a prime recipient, Western Plains USD 106 holds recurring Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA) formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards in July 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, each running through the following September. The district also operates as a sub-recipient of block grants and Title I Low Income funds channeled by the Kansas State Department of Education, with block grant sub-awards flowing monthly or quarterly throughout 2022–2026. A single sub-award from the Kansas Adjutant General Department in March 2023 funded school-related disaster damages.
Customer concentration is narrow and mission-driven. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 24 awards (likely school meal programs), the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for 23 awards (SRSA and Title I), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for 1 award, covering the entirety of the district's federal footprint. Combined dollars obligated across all forty-eight awards total $667 thousand — a figure consistent with formula-based rural school assistance rather than discretionary grants. Award activity has grown modestly, from three awards each in 2022 and 2023 to ten in 2024, eight in 2025, and nine in 2026; only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable, recurring funding streams with staggered cycles.
The district's role as a 58% sub-recipient (28 of 48 awards) reflects its status as an operating school entity receiving federal education funds through state pass-through mechanisms, a structural characteristic of K–12 district funding. Western Plains USD 106 does not engage in federal contracting, hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles, or operate as a subcontractor to federal prime contractors; its federal engagement is confined to direct education-program grants and state-administered sub-awards supporting classroom instruction, nutrition services, and school operations.
