Nashville Community High School

Nashville Community High School, a U.S. public school district entity located in Nashville, Illinois, is a recipient of federal grants for K–12 education, principally under the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, and receives subgrant funding distributed through the Illinois State Board of Education for special education, at-risk student support, and technology integration. The district operates as both a prime grant recipient (56% of recent awards) and a sub-recipient (44%), with no presence as a federal contractor.

The district's federal funding concentrates entirely within the Department of Education's education-focused programs. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services account for 100% of recent awards, split across 14 awards from OESE and 2 from OSERS. As a prime recipient, Nashville Community High School holds awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grant from OESE, most recent award date July 1, 2026, ultimate completion September 30, 2027). As a sub-recipient channeled through the Illinois State Board of Education, the district has received subgrants supporting IDEA Part B flow-through funds for students with disabilities aged 3–21 (ensuring free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment), Title I funds for at-risk student instruction and professional development, residential reimbursement costs for students with disabilities, and technology-rich learning resources funded through Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) III allocations under the American Rescue Plan Act.

Activity patterns show a light and episodic profile: two awards in 2021, one in 2023, two in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026, with a combined obligation of $1.2 million across all sixteen awards. Only one award (the most recent Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The district's federal footprint reflects formula allocation and statutory flow-through mechanisms typical of rural Illinois school districts rather than competitive procurement, with the Illinois State Board of Education serving as the administrative intermediary for most federal dollars flowing into Nashville Community High School.
