Foyil School District 7

Foyil School District 7, a state-controlled public school district based in Claremore, Oklahoma, is a federal grant recipient that receives formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for Indian Education and Small Rural School Achievement programs, and receives sub-grant pass-through funding from the Oklahoma State Department of Education for child nutrition reimbursement and Title I/IV education support. The district operates as a prime recipient on recurring annual formula grants and as a sub-recipient on state-administered federal education programs.

The district's federal funding footprint is concentrated entirely within two customer agencies. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 38 awards (85% of the total), while the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 7 awards (15%). On the prime side, Foyil receives recurring annual Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs and Small Rural School Achievement Program grants, both issued by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education with fiscal-year award cycles (typically July 1 through June or September 30 completion). Recent prime awards include a July 2026 Indian Education Formula Grant (completion June 30, 2027) and a July 2026 Small Rural School Achievement Program grant (completion September 30, 2027). As a sub-recipient, the district receives pass-through allocations from the Oklahoma State Department of Education, primarily for child nutrition reimbursement under federal meal programs, with secondary allocations for Title I comprehensive support, Title IV student support and academic enrichment, and teacher quality improvement initiatives. Sub-grant awards span from February 2023 through May 2026.

Activity has been uneven across recent years — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, nine in 2024, three in 2025, and three in 2026 — with only two awards completing within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all forty-five awards total $2 million. The district's role is that of a small rural school system accessing federal entitlements and state-administered pass-through grants rather than pursuing competitive federal contracts; no federal contract prime awards or contract vehicles appear in the footprint.
