Wheeler Central Public Schools

Wheeler Central Public Schools is a U.S. local government entity and school district located in Bartlett, Nebraska, registered in SAM.gov since October 2009. As a public school system, the organization serves the educational needs of students in its local community, with its primary focus on providing comprehensive primary and secondary educational services. The school district is specifically recognized as a small, rural school, which is reflected in its consistent participation in the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Wheeler Central Public Schools has received multiple federal grant awards primarily focused on educational support and pandemic-related educational funding. The school has consistently been awarded the Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant annually from 2021 to 2025, demonstrating ongoing federal recognition of its rural educational status. Additionally, the school has received several critical sub-awards from the Nebraska Department of Education, including COVID-19 relief grants such as ARP-ESSER-III, CRRSA-ESSER-II, and related supplemental allocations. These grants have likely supported educational continuity, infrastructure improvements, technology access, and pandemic mitigation strategies within the school district. The sub-awards, particularly those related to the American Rescue Plan (ARP) and Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Acts, indicate the school's participation in broader state and federal efforts to support education during challenging public health circumstances.
