Colcord Independent School District 4

Colcord Independent School District 4, doing business as Colcord Elementary School, is a U.S. local government school district entity in Colcord, Oklahoma, that receives federal education and nutrition grants as a prime recipient and sub-recipient. The district operates as a recipient of federal grants exclusively; it does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicle seats.

Colcord Independent School District 4 serves a rural community with a significant Native American student population and has received federal grants in two primary categories over the past several years. As a prime recipient, the district holds Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060) from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards spanning July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026, and a more recent grant effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The district also holds Impact Aid Program grants under Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), which provide financial assistance to school districts educating federally connected students — those living on Federal property, including Indian lands, or with parents employed on Federal property or active duty in the uniformed services. A $179,246 Impact Aid award dated October 1, 2025, runs through September 30, 2031, and addresses revenue loss from the tax-exempt status of Federal property. As a sub-recipient, Colcord Independent School District 4 receives pass-through funding from the Oklahoma State Department of Education for school meal reimbursement (providing nutritionally adequate meals to children), Title IV, Part A funds under the Oklahoma Champions of Excellence Initiative, Title II funds for teacher and principal quality improvement, Title I funds for high-quality education opportunity, and Title IV, Part B funds for supplemental academic and youth development activities.

Customer concentration is highly skewed toward education. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 54 of 67 total awards (100% of prime grant awards), with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service providing 12 sub-awards through the state pass-through mechanism. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $8 million. Activity shows growth in 2024 (14 awards) followed by lower volume in 2025 and 2026 (5 and 2 awards, respectively), though the multi-year Impact Aid award running through 2031 provides extended funding visibility. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure.
