Cissna Park Community Unit 6

Cissna Park Community Unit 6 is a U.S. local government entity and school district based in Cissna Park, Illinois, that receives federal grants to support K–12 education programming and operates as a prime recipient (73% of awards) on formula grants from the Department of Education and as a sub-recipient on state-pass-through awards from the Illinois State Board of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts and does not pursue set-aside categories, as it is a public school district without commercial business-development activity.

Cissna Park's federal footprint centers entirely on education grants from two Department of Education offices. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has issued 24 awards across the source data, while the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 2 awards, representing 100% of the district's named customer agencies. The primary prime vehicle is the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant program that has awarded the district annually since at least 2022 — most recent prime awards were issued July 1, 2026 (ultimate completion September 30, 2027), July 1, 2025 (ultimate completion September 30, 2026), July 1, 2024 (ultimate completion September 30, 2025), July 1, 2023 (ultimate completion September 30, 2024), and July 1, 2022 (ultimate completion September 30, 2023). Work performed includes funding for student instructional materials, equipment, professional development for at-risk student populations, and reimbursement for residential costs for students with disabilities. As a sub-recipient, Cissna Park receives pass-through awards from the Illinois State Board of Education under IDEA Part B flow-through funds, Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) II coronavirus relief funding, and discretionary state education grants targeting at-risk and special-education populations. Sub-awards documented since 2021 total at least eight distinct grants with ultimate completion dates ranging from 2023 through 2026.

Activity is minimal and flat year over year — one award in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, and one documented in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards in the source data total $1.3 million. One award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore approaches recompete. The district operates in the traditional K–12 public education space and does not serve as a federal contractor, vendor, or commercial supplier.
