Patoka Community Unit School District

Patoka Community Unit School District, a state-controlled public K–12 educational institution headquartered in Patoka, Illinois, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education as a prime grant recipient (71% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient of pass-through grants from the Illinois State Board of Education (29% of recent awards). The district does not hold federal contracts; its federal transacting footprint is exclusively grant-based, centered on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program.

The district's customer concentration is singular. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 100% of the 22 prime and sub awards in the source data, with all activity flowing through either direct formula grants or Illinois State Board of Education pass-through sub-awards. The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for two sub-awards. Recent prime grant work includes five consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants awarded July 1 each year from 2022 through 2026, with ultimate completion dates staggered from September 30, 2023 through September 30, 2027. Recent sub-award activity from the Illinois State Board of Education focuses on three categories: remedial instruction and materials for students at risk of failure, residential cost reimbursement for students with disabilities, and emergency relief funding under the American Rescue Plan Act and Coronavirus Relief Supply and Support (CRSSA) provisions.

Total obligated federal funding across all 24 awards (prime and sub combined) reached $1.3 million over a nineteen-year record. Annual award volume has remained flat at one to three awards per year from 2022 through 2026, with one award (combined potential value undisclosed) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. The district's federal grant profile is consistent with a small, rural school system accessing entitlement and discretionary programs reserved for high-poverty or low-enrollment districts; no competitive procurement, IDIQs, parent vehicles, or teaming relationships appear in the source data.
