Dewey Public Schools

Dewey Public Schools, doing business as District 7 (Dewey Independent School District 74-I007), is a U.S. local government school district based in Dewey, Oklahoma, operating as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient of pass-through awards from the Oklahoma State Department of Education.

District 7 receives direct federal grants and serves as a sub-recipient on education and nutrition programs. As a prime recipient, the district holds five annual Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, each running from July to June across fiscal years 2022 through 2027. The district also functions as a sub-recipient on fifteen federal education and nutrition awards issued by the Oklahoma State Department of Education, including multiple years of child nutrition reimbursement grants (USDA Food and Nutrition Service pass-through), Title IV Part A funding under the Oklahoma Champions of Excellence Initiative, Title II educator quality and recruitment grants, and Title I funds supporting high-quality education and state academic achievement standards.

Customer concentration reflects the district's primary federal footprint in K–12 education and child nutrition. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for twenty-one awards (58% of the total portfolio), while the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service provides twelve awards (33%). The Department of Education and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters round out the four distinct customer agencies. All sub-award work flows through the Oklahoma State Department of Education as the prime grantee and pass-through administrator.

Activity shows irregular pacing, with peaks in 2024 (thirteen awards) and lighter activity in 2022–2023 and 2025–2026. The source reports $2 million in combined obligated dollars across the thirty-six awards since 2007. One award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. The district does not hold prime positions on federal contracts or government-wide acquisition vehicles; federal activity is confined to grant receipt and sub-grant participation in education, nutrition assistance, and student support programming.
