Prairie DU Rocher School District

Prairie DU Rocher School District, a U.S. local government entity and school district located in Prairie Du Rocher, Illinois, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with no federal contract prime awards and no participation in competitive procurement vehicles. The district receives recurring Small, Rural School Achievement Program grants (formula-based, not competitive) and acts as a sub-recipient of federal pass-through funds from the Illinois State Board of Education on special education, emergency relief, at-risk student support, and facility improvement programs.

The district's federal footprint is narrow and non-commercial. Across all recent federal sources, the district holds 24 awards (17 as prime recipient, 7 as sub-recipient), with combined dollars obligated of $887 thousand. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for all but two awards in the portfolio. Prairie DU Rocher is a direct recipient of the Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant in five consecutive years (2022–2026), each a one-year award structured as an assistance grant from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district also receives federal funds flowing through the Illinois State Board of Education on eight sub-awards covering special education (IDEA Part B flow-through funds for assessment services), Title I support for at-risk students, emergency pandemic relief (CARES Act/CRSSA Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief II), clean air facility improvements and technology for digital learning, instructional staffing, and residential costs for students with disabilities.

Activity is modest and episodic: one award in 2022, two in 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026. Only one award has an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, creating negligible recompete exposure in the near term. The district does not compete for federal contracts, sits on no government-wide acquisition vehicles, and operates exclusively within the formula-grant and pass-through-fund structures available to rural school districts under Elementary and Secondary Education Act programs. Federal revenue integration is administrative and compliance-driven rather than business-development-driven; this footprint reflects entitlements and statutory allocations to a small rural district, not procurement activity.
