Keys School District

Keys School District (Keys Public Schools Division), a U.S. government entity and local educational agency headquartered in Park Hill, Oklahoma, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering K–12 educational services to Native American and federally connected students. The district does not hold federal contracts; all of its federal funding flows through Department of Education grants administered as prime recipient (81% of awards) and subordinate recipient under state pass-through awards (19%), primarily under Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060) and Impact Aid Program Title VII funding (CFDA 84.041).

Keys School District serves two principal federal customer streams. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 63 awards across the recent footprint, funding culturally appropriate academic instruction, teacher professional development addressing Native American student needs, and support services ensuring Native American students meet state performance standards while gaining knowledge of tribal histories, languages, and cultures. The District of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service provides 12 awards, routed through the Oklahoma State Department of Education, for school meal reimbursement and Title IV, Part A student support programming in rural and low-income settings.

Recent representative grants include a $122,110 Indian Education Formula Grant (CFDA 84.060) awarded July 1, 2026, running through June 30, 2027, for culturally appropriate educational services and professional development; a $149,149 Impact Aid Program Section 7003 Project Grant (CFDA 84.041) awarded October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2031, for federally connected children on Indian lands and with parents in active duty status; and a $112,851 Indian Education Formula Grant awarded July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Sub-recipient awards flow from the Oklahoma State Department of Education and carry meal reimbursement, student achievement, and rural education support functions, with multiple sub-awards dated between May 2026 and December 2023.

Activity has grown modestly — three awards in 2022 to thirteen in 2024, declining to five in 2025 and two in 2026 — reflecting the front-loaded scheduling of multi-year Impact Aid Project Grants awarded in bulk in February 2023 and October 2023. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. Combined dollars obligated across all seventy-seven awards total $8.6 million, with award volume concentrated in formula grants and project grants carrying fixed one-year and five-to-six-year performance periods. The District's federal footprint is narrow and specialized: it does not compete for contracts, does not sit on government-wide vehicles, and operates entirely within the Department of Education grants ecosystem serving Native American and federally connected student populations in rural Oklahoma.
