Omaha Public School District

Omaha Public School District (Omaha Public School Division) is a U.S. local government school district recipient of federal grants from the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture, operating as a prime recipient (41% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient (59%) flowing through the Arkansas Department of Education. The district receives formula grants and sub-grants for K–12 education support, special education, child nutrition, and teacher quality improvement across a school system located in Omaha, Arkansas.

The district's federal footprint centers on three customer agencies accounting for 100% of recent awards. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education dominates the prime award volume with 28 awards, while the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 12 awards and the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services carries 4 awards. Dollar concentration is tightly held: combined dollars obligated across all 44 awards (prime and sub, spanning 2007 to present) total $1.5 million, indicating modest per-award magnitudes typical of formula grant distributions to rural school districts.

As prime recipient, the district has received five consecutive annual awards from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant assistance type, with awards dated July 1 in fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 (the most recent award completed July 1, 2026, with ultimate completion September 30, 2027). As sub-recipient, the district flows funds through the Arkansas Department of Education for Title I student achievement and teacher quality improvement, special education services (IDEA Parts B and C for children ages 3–5 and school-age students with disabilities), child nutrition programs (breakfast, lunch, and after-school snack reimbursement under federal nutrition standards), the Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) program for well-rounded education and technology integration, and the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) for elementary school nutrition. Sub-awards dating from July 1, 2022 through October 1, 2025 show recurring annual allocations across these program categories, with child nutrition claiming and reimbursement appearing consistently as a high-frequency sub-award type.

Recent activity has remained steady but modest. Award volume ranged from 6 to 10 awards per calendar year from 2022 through 2025, with only one award visible in 2026 to date. Within the next twenty-four months, one award reaches ultimate completion, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The district does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; its federal footprint is purely grant-based, flowing through state intermediaries and direct formula allocations.
