Miami School District I-23

Miami School District I-23, doing business as Miami High School, is a U.S. local government school district located in Miami, Oklahoma that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the Department of Education and as a sub-recipient through state pass-through grant awards. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates entirely within the federal grant ecosystem.

Miami School District I-23's federal grant portfolio centers on Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060), administered by the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district has received formula grant awards annually since at least 2022, with recent awards of $167,706 (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024), $151,397 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026), and $156,300 (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). These awards fund comprehensive educational programming addressing the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students, including academic instruction, cultural programming aligned with Native American heritage, professional development for educators, and specialized student support services. The district also holds a six-year Impact Aid award from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (CFDA 84.041) for $118,728, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031, providing financial assistance to districts educating federally connected students—those living on federal property or whose parents work on federal property or serve on active duty in the uniformed services.

The district's sub-award footprint consists primarily of pass-through grants from the Oklahoma State Department of Education and the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education, covering school nutrition reimbursement, Title I support, English Language Learner assistance, Title IV comprehensive student support, career and technical education, and supplemental academic and youth development programming. The source identifies 24 sub-awards across the portfolio, with the State Department of Education as the predominant prime grantee.

Federal grant concentration sits entirely with the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (26 awards out of 46 total) and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (16 awards, routed through state intermediaries). The combined obligated dollars across all awards total $8 million. Activity peaked in 2024 (19 awards) with a contraction to five awards in 2025 and two in 2026, reflecting the annual and multi-year grant schedule rather than a sustained contracting pipeline. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term.
