Ione School District

Ione School District, a rural public K–12 school system in Ione, Oregon, operates as a federal grant recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA) and as a sub-recipient of Title I, Supporting Effective Instruction, student support enrichment, and lead testing grants flowing from the Oregon Department of Education. The district holds no federal contracts and competes exclusively within federal education-grant channels.

Ione School District's federal footprint consists almost entirely of education-focused grant work. As a prime recipient, the district has received five consecutive annual SRSA formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), with awards dated July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026, running on twelve-month cycles through September 30 of the following year. These constitute the district's primary federal revenue stream. As a sub-recipient, the district has received thirteen pass-through grants from the Oregon Department of Education since 2022, spanning Title I Part A/D Basic Grants to Local Education Agencies, Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants, Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants, lead testing of drinking water for schools, and American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief (ARP-ESSER) funding. All sub-grant awards flow through Oregon's department of education as the prime grantee.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Education (OESE) and its state intermediary, Oregon Department of Education, account for 100% of the district's 41 recent federal awards. The combined dollars obligated across the entire twenty-year award footprint total $885 thousand, consistent with a small rural school district serving a limited student population. Activity has been stable, with two to four annual awards per year from 2022 through 2025 and six awards in 2026, driven by the annual SRSA grant cycle and periodic sub-grants from the state department. Only one award (the FY 2026 SRSA prime grant) carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months. The district operates with roughly equal weight between prime grants (49%, primarily SRSA) and sub-grants (51%, primarily state pass-through education programs), with no contractor or vendor relationships evident in the award record.
