Huntington School District 16

Huntington School District 16, a local government school district in Huntington, Oregon, receives federal education funding as a grant recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) and Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), operating exclusively through federal pass-through funding channeled via the Oregon Department of Education rather than as a direct federal contractor.

The district's federal footprint is entirely grant-based, reflecting its status as a public K–12 education agency. Over the past five years, Huntington School District 16 has received federal education grants across two distinct customer channels within the Department of Education: 55 awards routed through OESE and 10 awards through OSERS account for 100% of the district's recent federal activity. The district acts as a prime grant recipient on direct OESE funding — five consecutive annual awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA 84.358A), with awards in July 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and most recently July 2026, each running through September of the following year. The district also receives the vast majority of its federal support as a sub-recipient through Oregon Department of Education, receiving pass-through allocations from Title I Part A/D Basic Grants to LEAs, IDEA Part B 611 and 619 (special education and early intervention services), Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants, and Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants. Between 2021 and 2026, the district received thirty-eight sub-awards via Oregon DOE covering these core K–12 education programs, with the most recent tranche of sub-awards dated August 2026 for Title I, Supporting Effective Instruction, and Student Support and Academic Enrichment funding.

Activity has been uneven but consistent: seven awards in 2022, ten in 2023, then declining to six awards annually in 2024 and 2025, with eight awards recorded through August 2026. Combined obligations across all sixty-five awards total $1.8 million, reflecting the formula-grant and sub-award structure where individual pass-through allocations to a single rural district remain modest. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable, rolling funding renewal. The district's federal engagement is characteristic of small rural school systems: direct formula-grant eligibility under OESA for rural districts with limited resources, coupled with baseline compliance funding under Title I and IDEA routed through the state education agency. The district neither pursues federal contracts nor maintains subcontracting relationships with prime contractors — its federal footprint is exclusively education entitlement and supplemental grants administered through established K–12 federal programs.
