Phoenix Elementary School District 1

Phoenix Elementary School District 1 (dba Phoenix Elementary School District No. 1), a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, receives federal grants as a recipient, predominantly as a sub-recipient flowing through the Arizona Department of Education, with recurring annual formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education serving Native American student populations and special education populations.

Phoenix Elementary operates almost entirely in the sub-recipient role — 65% of its 71 awards across the source data window are grant sub-awards — and does not hold federal contracts or IDVs. Its customer concentration is acute and stable. The top five federal agencies by award count account for 92% of recent awards, led overwhelmingly by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (45 awards), followed distantly by the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (8 awards), the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (5 awards), the General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service (5 awards), and the Department of Education's Office of English Language Acquisition (2 awards). The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education dominates both volume and dollars; the vast majority of Phoenix Elementary's grant work flows through Arizona Department of Education as the prime grantee.

Phoenix Elementary's grant portfolio centers on Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs, with five annual prime awards dating from July 2022 through July 2026 (ultimate completion June 2027). The district also receives sub-awards spanning Title I (basic and compensatory education), Title II (teacher quality improvement), Title III (English language acquisition), Title IV-A (student support and academic enrichment), IDEA Basic (special education), Section 619 (preschool special education), EHCY (Education for Homeless Children and Youth), the Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers program, and the Federal Free and Reduced-Price Lunch Program. Representative sub-awards from July 2026 include formula awards for Title I programming, Title II teacher improvement, Title III English language acquisition, Title IV student support and academic enrichment, IDEA Basic and IDEA Preschool programs, and Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers. A July 2024 sub-award detailed Title IV use for extended-day enrichment, enrichment summer school, well-rounded learning (STEM, drama, art, music), student-success coordinator support, special-populations student support, safe and healthy extended learning, and technology integration staffing.

Activity has grown from 4 awards in 2022 to a peak of 15 awards in 2024, with 12 awards in 2025 and 8 to date in 2026. The source indicates only one award reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, reflecting the annual cycle of formula grants and the district's minimal recompete exposure. Combined dollars obligated across all 71 awards total $87.9 million. Phoenix Elementary holds no federal contract vehicles and does not compete on federal contracts; the district's federal footprint is entirely grant-recipient work, channeled primarily through state education intermediaries.
