Kingston Public School District 3

Kingston Public School District 3, a U.S. local government school district based in Kingston, Oklahoma, operates as a federal grant recipient that receives direct formula and project grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, as well as pass-through sub-awards from Oklahoma state education agencies for child nutrition and vocational education programs. The district does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles and does not perform work as a subcontractor to federal contractors; all federal funding flows either as direct grants to the district or as sub-grants channeled through state intermediaries.

The district's federal grant portfolio centers on two primary funding streams. Direct prime grants from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education account for 61 awards and cover Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060) and Impact Aid program awards under Sections 7002 and 7003 (CFDA 84.041). Representative direct awards include a $103,563 Indian Education Formula Grant for July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, supporting comprehensive educational services—academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and student support—for American Indian and Alaska Native students; a $438,742 Impact Aid Section 7002 award from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031, compensating for local tax revenue lost due to federal acquisition of real property within the district's tax base; and a $280,967 Impact Aid Section 7003 award over the same period, providing assistance for districts where at least three percent or 400 of eligible federally connected children reside on or connect to federal property or military service. Sub-awards from the Oklahoma Department of Education and the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education account for 39 awards and primarily fund child nutrition reimbursement programs—the National School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast Program, and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)—and vocational education basic grants. The district has received pass-through allocations for nutrition meal reimbursement dating back to at least 2023 and vocational education sub-grants in 2024 and 2025.

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 61 of 99 total awards in the portfolio; combined with the two additional Department of Education awards in the source, the Education agency presence covers the full 100% of the district's named customer funding. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service appears as the funding source for 34 awards routed through Oklahoma state education intermediaries. Activity has grown significantly, rising from three awards in 2022 to thirty-one in 2024, before moderating to eight in 2025 and three in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete exposure in the near term. The district's combined dollar obligation across all federal sources totals $20.9 million, distributed across Indian education services, Impact Aid compensation, and federal nutrition program reimbursement.
