Hume Public Schools Hume R 8 School District

Hume R-8 School District, a public school district in Hume, Missouri, is a recipient of federal education grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), operating as both a prime grant recipient (54% of recent awards) and a sub-recipient of pass-through grants from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

The district's federal footprint is entirely grant-based, with no federal contracts or IDVs. Hume R-8 serves as a prime recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant, with awards issued annually in July since 2022 — most recently a July 1, 2026 award with ultimate completion September 30, 2027. The district also receives sub-awards from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (the pass-through grantor) covering Title I Part A funding for educationally deprived students, IDEA Part B special education grants, Child Nutrition Program block grants, and Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds (including American Rescue Plan supplemental ESSER funding). The sub-award footprint spans multiple authorization cycles, with pass-through awards dating to 2022 and continuing through 2026.

Hume R-8's customer concentration is heavily concentrated with OESE, which accounts for 29 of the district's 35 tracked awards across the five-year source window. The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service placed four awards, and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services placed two. The district obligated approximately $1.3 million in combined federal funding across all awards in the source data. Activity is modest but stable — three to six awards per year over the past five years — with only one award facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure.

This award footprint is characteristic of a small rural school district accessing federal educational equity grants and child nutrition support. The district does not pursue federal contracts, serves no federal contracting customers, and sits outside the vendor ecosystem serving defense, civilian agency IT, or professional services primes.
