Coulterville Unit School District 1

Coulterville Unit School District 1 is a U.S. local government entity and Illinois school district that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program and as a sub-recipient from the Illinois State Board of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts, IDIQs, or GWACs; its federal relationship is grant-funded, not procurement-based.

The district's federal grant footprint is concentrated in two Education Department programs. As a prime recipient, Coulterville receives annual formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, with awards dated July 1 each year covering twelve-month performance periods ending September 30 (most recent award July 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027). The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services has issued two additional prime awards. As a sub-recipient, the district receives pass-through funding from the Illinois State Board of Education for special education, Title I at-risk student support, professional development, technology and materials, instructional staffing, residential costs for students with disabilities, and emergency relief under the CARES Act Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund. Sub-recipient awards began in 2021 and continue through 2026, with the most recent sub-award dated September 9, 2026 (residential cost reimbursement for students with disabilities).

Customer concentration is absolute: 24 of 26 recent awards (100% coverage) are from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with the remaining two from the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. The district has obligated $1.2 million across all 26 awards over the source window. Activity is modest and flat — one or two awards per year since 2022 — with only one award (a prime grant) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The district operates as a prime recipient in 73% of recent awards and as a sub-recipient in 27%, with all sub-awards flowing through the Illinois State Board of Education as the pass-through prime. The district's federal engagement is characteristic of rural K–12 public education: formula-grant dependent, sub-award heavy, and focused on Title I support for at-risk students and special education compliance.
