Oakville School District 400

Oakville School District 400, a public K–12 school district based in Oakville, Washington, is a federal grant recipient (66% of awards as prime recipient) operating primarily under Department of Education formula and project grants for rural and Indian education, special education, child nutrition, and school improvement programs. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the grant space, with the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction as the pass-through grantor for most sub-awards.

Oakville's federal funding portfolio concentrates heavily on education and nutrition support. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) accounts for 65 of 86 total awards across the source data window, followed by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (17 awards) and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (3 awards). The district's combined dollars obligated total $12.7 million across the full portfolio. As a prime recipient, Oakville holds three active project grants from OESE: an Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) award for $648,475 obligated through September 30, 2031, to offset revenue loss due to federally connected children and federal property within district boundaries; and two earlier Impact Aid awards dating to February 2023 and December 2024. The district also receives recurring formula grants under the Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs program (awarded annually July 1) and the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (REAP), both running through the OESE. Most sub-award activity flows through the Superintendent of Public Instruction as pass-through, covering Title I, Part A; Special Education (IDEA Part B); 21st Century Community Learning Centers (Cohort 18); child nutrition program reimbursement and administrative support (issued nine times between September 2023 and September 2025); and school improvement funds.

Activity has been volatile. The district recorded one award in 2022, twelve in 2023, seventeen in 2024, and ten in 2025, with only two awards recorded in 2026 to date (both in July). Within the next twenty-four months, only two awards face ultimate completion and therefore recompete exposure, signaling a relatively stable funding base. The impact of federally connected students and properties — the core eligibility driver for Impact Aid — anchors recurring OESE funding. Prior Impact Aid awards total $728,630 in cumulative support for rural and indigenous student populations, and the three-year and six-year project grant structures (through 2028, 2029, and 2031) suggest multi-year commitments to offset federal presence effects on the local tax base. The district's sub-award footprint reflects typical LEA structures: state pass-through administration of federal Title I, special education, and nutrition programs, with child nutrition reimbursement and administrative support representing the most frequent sub-award type in recent cycles.
