Latta Public Schools

Latta Public Schools, a U.S. government local education agency headquartered in Ada, Oklahoma, operates as a federal grant recipient (76% of recent awards as prime recipient) serving kindergarten through twelfth grade. The school district receives direct formula grants and project grants from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, and sub-grants passed through the Oklahoma State Department of Education for nutrition and instructional programs supporting federally connected student populations.

Latta Public Schools' customer footprint concentrates entirely with education and nutrition funders. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 40 awards across the recent history, with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service placing 11 awards as a sub-recipient pass-through from the state education agency. A single $10 thousand award from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rounds out the agency set. The concentration is near-total: all four distinct customer agencies funnel work through either direct federal formula grants or state intermediaries managing federal nutrition and academic programs.

Latta Public Schools holds two primary grant vehicles from the Department of Education. The Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) funds academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted support services for American Indian and Alaska Native students; the district received formula grants of $100,786 (fiscal 2022–2023), $117,972 (fiscal 2024–2025), $124,926 (fiscal 2025–2026), and $125,366 (fiscal 2026–2027). The Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041) replaces revenue lost to local tax bases due to federal acquisition of real property exempt from taxation, serving children living on federal or Indian lands and children of uniformed-services personnel; the district received project grants with ultimate completion dates through September 2031, including awards dated January 2022, February 2023, October 2023, December 2024, and October 2025. Sub-grants flow through the Oklahoma State Department of Education, supporting child nutrition reimbursement and Title IV academic achievement initiatives, with twelve nutrition-related sub-awards issued between February 2024 and June 2026.

Activity remains modest and episodic: two awards in 2022, three in 2023, eleven in 2024, five in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $9.1 million against a combined potential value figure of $10 thousand, reflecting the granular nature of recurring annual formula allocations and nutrition pass-throughs. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The district does not hold federal contracts or sit on contract vehicles; its federal revenue derives exclusively from Department of Education grants and sub-grants supporting Indian student education and federal impact aid.
