Kamiah Joint School District #304

Kamiah Joint School District #304, a rural Idaho local government K–12 school district, is a prime recipient of federal education and nutrition grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) and the Department of Agriculture, with the majority of its federal footprint rooted in Indian Education formula grants and Impact Aid program awards covering the period through 2031.

The district is structured as a U.S. government entity headquartered in Kamiah, Idaho (83536), and competes exclusively in the grant-recipient space rather than federal contracts. Of 86 total federal awards in the source data spanning 2006 to July 2026, 54 (63%) are prime grants and 32 (37%) are sub-grants flowing through the Idaho State Board of Education. Recent prime recipients work includes an Indian Education Formula Grant to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.044) awarded July 1, 2026, for the performance period through June 30, 2027, and an Impact Aid Program Title VII Section 7003 award of $366,983 obligated October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2031. The Impact Aid award targets students living on or connected to Federal property in Kamiah, Idaho, and funds general instruction, special education, English language learning, and technology integration to offset lost local tax revenue where federally connected children reduce the district's revenue base.

Customer concentration is narrow and stable. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 62 of 86 awards (72%), with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service contributing 20 awards; the remaining four awards split between the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and a general Department of Education line. The district's sub-grant portfolio flows from the Idaho State Board of Education as prime grantee, covering Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies, Special Education Grants to States, Student Support and Academic Enrichment Program, Improving Teacher Quality State Grants, National School Lunch Program, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund awards. Nutrition program sub-awards span October 2022 through October 2024.

Recent activity shows declining award volume—thirteen awards in 2022, fifteen in 2023, ten in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026—reflecting the multi-year obligation structure of formula and Impact Aid grants rather than a shrinking federal footprint. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in that window. Combined dollars obligated across all source awards total $6.5 million, concentrated in the OESE Indian Education and Impact Aid programs, which carry multi-year performance periods extending through 2030 and 2031.
