County Of Power Class A School District 381

County Of Power Class A School District 381, doing business as American Falls JT SD NO. 381, is a U.S. local government school district serving American Falls and surrounding rural areas of Power County, Idaho. The district acts as a prime recipient of federal education and rural development grants and as a sub-recipient of education and nutrition funding flowing through the Idaho State Board of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts and competes only in the federal grant space.

The district's federal footprint is dominated by education formula and project grants. As a prime recipient, American Falls JT SD NO. 381 holds Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (CFDA 84.060) from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with annual awards flowing from 2022 through 2026 at the formula-grant level. The district also received a Community Oriented Policing Program (CFDA 16.710) project grant from the Department of Justice for school security infrastructure and safety climate work, awarded October 1, 2023, with ultimate completion scheduled for September 30, 2026; this award funds installation of advanced security cameras and access control systems, partnerships with local law enforcement (American Falls Police Department and Power County Sheriff's Office), and staff training in emergency response coordination. The district additionally received a Distance Learning Grant from the Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service, awarded August 7, 2023, with completion through August 7, 2025.

As a sub-recipient, the district receives flow-through education and nutrition funding from the Idaho State Board of Education across multiple CFDA programs. The sub-award portfolio spans Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies, Special Education Grants to States, Migrant Education State Grants, Improving Teacher Quality State Grants, Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP), Student Support and Academic Enrichment Programs, English Language Acquisition State Grants, National School Lunch Program, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund, and Career and Technical Education. Sub-awards date from 2022 through December 2024, indicating annual or multi-year cycles aligned with school fiscal years.

Customer concentration reflects the district's core mission as a K-12 education provider. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 34 awards (61% of all awards in the source), the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service for 9 awards (16%), and the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services for 6 awards (11%). These three customer agencies represent 95% of the district's recent award activity by count. Combined dollars obligated across all fifty-six awards total $3.8 million, with the bulk flowing through education and meal-support formulas rather than discretionary project grants. Award volume peaked in 2023 and 2024 (16 and 19 awards respectively), with minimal activity in 2025 and 2026 in the source snapshot—consistent with the shift from SCI-tracked historic awards to forward-looking formula-grant cycles. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating stable ongoing funding with limited recompete pressure in the near term.
