Long Creek School District 17

Long Creek School District 17, doing business as Long Creek School, is a state-controlled Oregon public school district that receives federal grants as a prime recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program and as a sub-recipient of K–12 education grants passed through the Oregon Department of Education. The district operates as a not-for-profit educational institution and does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant funding.

Long Creek School is headquartered in Long Creek, Oregon (population-serving rural northeastern Oregon) and has received 60 federal awards across the past five years, with 68% routed as sub-recipient grants and 32% as prime grants. The district's customer base is concentrated within the Department of Education: the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 49 of 60 recent awards, and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 9 awards, together representing the full scope of the district's federal grant activity. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service each account for one award.

As a prime recipient, Long Creek School has secured five consecutive annual awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education: July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023; July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024; July 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025; July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026; and July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. In its sub-recipient role, the district receives pass-through grants from the Oregon Department of Education in multiple federal K–12 grant programs, including Title 1 Part A/D Basic Grants to Local Educational Agencies, Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants, Student Support and Academic Enrichment, IDEA Part B 611 and 619 (special education), ARP Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund, Lead Testing of Drinking Water for Schools, and the Child Nutrition Program Fresh Fruit and Vegetable program. Sub-awards have been issued continuously since November 2021, with the most recent activity in August 2026.

The combined dollars obligated across all 60 awards total $1.3 million. Award volume per year has remained modest, ranging from five to nine annual awards in the 2022–2026 window, with seven awards in the current year. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The district competes exclusively within federal grant programs serving rural K–12 education and does not participate in federal contracting vehicles, set-asides, or prime contract work outside the education sector.
