Wheatland R-Ii School District

Wheatland R-II School District is a U.S. local government entity and public school district located in Quincy, Missouri, that has maintained federal grant funding eligibility since its registration with SAM.gov in June 2009. The district functions as a prime recipient of federal grant awards, receiving direct funding from federal agencies to support its educational operations and infrastructure initiatives. As a rural school district, Wheatland R-II has leveraged federal grant programs to enhance educational quality, support student achievement, and improve facilities and transportation assets serving its student population and local community.

The district has demonstrated consistent engagement with federal grant funding across multiple educational and environmental programs. The primary focus of Wheatland R-II's prime grant awards centers on the Impact Aid Program under Title VII, Section 7002, administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with four project grants awarded between February 2023 and October 2025, with completion dates extending through September 2031. Additionally, the district received formula grants through the Small, Rural School Achievement Program in 2021, 2022, and 2023, as well as a Community Facility Grant from the Rural Utilities Service in August 2023. The district also successfully obtained environmental funding, receiving a $117,432 project grant from EPA Region 7 in October 2021 under the Diesel Emission Reduction Act National Grants program to replace an aging 2006 diesel school bus with an emissions-compliant 2022 model. Beyond prime grant awards, Wheatland R-II serves as a subrecipient for numerous educational programs flowing through the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, including Title I Part A funds for educationally disadvantaged students, IDEA Part B grants for special education services, Consolidated Nutrition Program (CNP) Block grants, and American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief (ARP-ESSER) funds for pandemic recovery efforts. This diverse grant portfolio reflects the district's commitment to supporting student achievement, special education services, nutritional programs, infrastructure improvements, and environmental sustainability initiatives.
