Oakdale Grade School District #1

Oakdale Grade School District #1, doing business as Oakdale Grade School, is a U.S. government entity and educational institution based in Oakdale, Illinois, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district does not hold federal contracts; its entire federal footprint consists of formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program.

Oakdale Grade School is a public school district and state government entity, not a for-profit vendor. The district has received five consecutive annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program since 2022, with awards issued each July. The most recent award (July 1, 2026) carries an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027. Combined obligated dollars across all twenty-one awards in the source data total $434 thousand, reflecting the modest scale of rural school district funding. The district's sole federal customer agency is the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, accounting for 100% of awards. The district also appears as a sub-recipient on two Department of Education sub-awards from the Illinois State Board of Education (September 18, 2025, and February 4, 2025), receiving funds for student educational activities, materials, equipment, instructional staff, software, and professional development focused on at-risk student populations.

Federal grant activity shows minimal year-over-year variation — one award per year in 2022, 2023, and 2024, then three awards in 2025, and one in 2026. Only one award (the July 1, 2025 grant with a September 30, 2026 completion date, now past) is flagged as reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The district's role is limited to grant recipient; it does not serve as a contractor, does not hold parent vehicles, and does not hold subcontracts on federal contracts. As a U.S. government entity classified as an educational institution and school of forestry, the district is outside the typical vendor competitive landscape and functions as a direct recipient of formula grant support for rural school operations and student services.
