Antlers School District I-13

Antlers School District I-13, a U.S. government entity operating through its Antlers Public School division in Antlers, Oklahoma, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Education and as a sub-recipient of pass-through funding from the Oklahoma State Department of Education, serving a student population with significant Native American enrollment through direct federal grant awards and state-administered sub-awards totaling $10.1 million across 69 awards since 2006.

The district's federal footprint centers on two recurring Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education grant programs: the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060), a formula grant providing annual funding of approximately $107,000 to $115,000 to address the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of Native American students; and the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003), a project grant providing multi-year support to districts serving federally connected children. Representative prime grant awards include a $110,015 Indian Education formula grant awarded July 1, 2026 (ultimate completion June 30, 2027), a $108,712 Impact Aid project grant awarded October 1, 2025 (ultimate completion September 30, 2031), and a $114,993 Indian Education formula grant awarded July 1, 2024 (ultimate completion June 30, 2025). The district also receives pass-through sub-awards from the Oklahoma State Department of Education for child nutrition reimbursement, rural student assistance, teacher professional development, and Title I school improvement, with at least fifteen documented sub-awards since 2023.

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education dominates customer concentration, accounting for 43 of the district's 69 awards (62% coverage). The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, Rural Housing Service, Rural Utilities Service, and Rural Housing Service Community Facilities collectively account for 23 awards, with the top five customer agencies covering 96% of recent award activity. Prime awards represent 77% of the district's federal footprint, with sub-awards (primarily state pass-throughs) comprising 23%. Activity trajectory shows volatility — two awards in 2022, four in 2023, twelve in 2024, five in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only one award facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in that window. The district operates as a direct recipient of federal education funding rather than as a contractor or equipment vendor, with grant work focused on Native American student achievement, cultural preservation, teacher professional development, and school meal programs.
