Hollis Consolidated School District 328

Hollis Consolidated School District 328, operating as Hollis School, is a public school district based in Peoria, Illinois that receives federal education grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with minimal sub-grant participation.

Hollis School is a U.S. local government entity and school district with no federal contracting footprint — it does not hold prime contracts or serve as a contract subcontractor. The district's federal engagement consists entirely of grant receipts. Across twenty federal awards in the source data spanning 2007 to 2026, the district has obligated $523 thousand in combined grant dollars, with nineteen awards (95% of the total) as prime recipient and one award as a sub-recipient.

The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education is the sole meaningful customer, accounting for 19 of 20 awards. The district's primary grant vehicle is the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (a formula grant), which the district has received on a recurring annual cycle since at least 2022 — awards posted each July 1st with September 30th ultimate completion dates in the following fiscal year. The most recent awards run July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, and July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. The district also holds one sub-grant award under a Department of Energy resilience project: the University of Illinois Chicago is the prime grantee on a Public School Bus-to-Grid Assisted Resilient Microgrids at Illinois School Districts initiative, and Hollis School participates as a sub-recipient responsible for recruiting a design-build engineering firm to construct a microgrid on campus that integrates solar generation, stationary battery storage, Vehicle-to-Grid EV charging infrastructure, and at least one electric school bus. Under the sub-grant scope, Hollis School will collect pre- and post-installation utility consumption data and contribute to case-study documentation of emissions reductions and financial outcomes.

Activity frequency is sparse — one to two awards per year in recent years — with one award (the Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant completing September 30, 2027) facing completion within the next twenty-four months. The district's federal footprint reflects typical rural school-district grant participation rather than commercial or defense contracting engagement.
