Diamond School District 7

Diamond School District 7, a public school district located in Diamond, Oregon, operates as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Education, receiving formula grants and pass-through sub-grants for K-12 education, special education, and teacher professional development — with 44% of recent federal awards as a prime recipient and 56% as a sub-recipient flowing from the Oregon Department of Education.

Diamond School District 7's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within the Department of Education. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services together account for 100% of awards (32 and 11 awards respectively across the tracked period). As a prime recipient, the district has received five consecutive annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026, each running through the following September 30. As a sub-recipient, Diamond School District 7 receives pass-through funding from the Oregon Department of Education under multiple federal grant programs: the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B Section 611 (general special education), IDEA Part B Section 619 (special education preschool), the Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, and the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund (ARP-ESSER). Sub-grant awards cluster in the September-through-October and February-through-August windows, with the most recent sub-award dated August 6, 2026.

The district's federal grant activity has remained modest and relatively flat. Over the past five years, annual awards have ranged from three to five per year, with 2022 recording four awards, 2023 five awards, 2024 four awards, and 2025 and 2026 each registering three awards. Combined dollars obligated across all tracked federal awards total $593 thousand, reflecting the smaller scale typical of rural school districts. Only one award has an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Diamond School District 7 does not hold federal contracts or compete on IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; its federal engagement is limited to education-sector grant programs administered through state intermediaries and direct formula grants.
