Hutsonville Cmty Unit SD 1

Hutsonville Community Unit School District #1, a local government entity and public school district headquartered in Hutsonville, Illinois, receives federal grants as a prime recipient focused on K-12 education support and special education programming. The district does not hold federal contracts or seats on contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards and sub-grant pass-throughs from the Illinois State Board of Education.

The district's customer base is narrowly concentrated within the Department of Education. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 24 of the district's 26 total awards, with the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounting for the remaining 2 awards. The district operates as a prime grant recipient on 19 awards (73% of the total) and as a sub-recipient on 7 grants (27% of the total), all flowing through Illinois State Board of Education as the state intermediary.

Prime grant work centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant that has been awarded annually to the district on July 1 in each year from 2022 through 2026, with the most recent award dated July 1, 2026 and carrying an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027. Sub-grant awards from the Illinois State Board of Education fund specific educational interventions: reimbursement of residential costs for students with disabilities; Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part B flow-through grants supporting special education staff, benefits, and professional development for children ages three through twenty-one; supplemental instruction in reading, math, and writing; social-emotional learning; and equipment and materials for at-risk student populations. Earlier sub-grant awards funded activities under the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III program of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and pandemic-related facility cleaning and learning-loss recovery.

Combined dollars obligated across all twenty-six awards total $1.8 million. Activity has remained flat at one to three awards per year over the past five years. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying minimal recompete exposure. The district does not contract with commercial vendors or hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles; it operates as a direct recipient of federal education funding and as a sub-recipient of state education intermediary funding.
