Cypress School District 64

Cypress School District 64, a U.S. local government entity based in Cypress, Illinois, acts as a federal grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, receiving formula grants and sub-awards to fund student education, special education services, and school safety initiatives for a rural district population.

The district is a school district structure with no federal contracting footprint; all federal activity is grant-based. Cypress School District 64 operates as a prime grant recipient on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with five awards spanning 2022 through 2026. The district also receives sub-grant awards from the Illinois State Board of Education, the pass-through grantee for multiple Department of Education programs. Sub-award work includes IDEA Part B Flow-Through funds for special education services to children ages three through twenty-one, reimbursement of residential costs for students with disabilities, building safety and security improvements, and supplemental instructional materials and paraprofessional support for students at risk of academic failure. One sub-award funded student educational activities and materials under the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III Fund of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

Cypress School District 64's federal funding is highly concentrated in the Department of Education, which accounts for all twenty-seven awards in the source portfolio — twenty-four through the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, two through the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, and one through the department generally. The district operates as a prime recipient on seventy-four percent of awards and as a sub-recipient on twenty-six percent. Combined dollars obligated across all recent awards total $771 thousand, reflecting the small-rural-district profile targeted by the Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula. Activity has been modest and uneven: two awards in 2022 and 2023, four in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window.
