Riverside Elementary SD 29

Riverside Elementary School, an educational institution operating as a small rural school district in Oklahoma, receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient through the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education's Small, Rural School Achievement Program, with no federal contracting footprint. The institution is a non-profit school district that has participated in federal education funding since 2007, holding no federal contracts or IDVs but maintaining recurring annual grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program.

Riverside Elementary's federal footprint is confined to education grants. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 16 of 17 total awards (94% of awards), with the remaining award flowing through the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. As a prime grant recipient, Riverside Elementary has received Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants annually each July, with awards dated July 1, 2022 through July 1, 2026 and ultimate completion dates running through September 30, 2027. The school district also serves as a sub-recipient under three grants administered through the State Department of Education: a May 2026 sub-award for providing nutritionally adequate meals to children, an August 2024 sub-award supporting Oklahoma's Champions of Excellence Initiative under Title IV, Part A, and an August 2024 sub-award addressing educational equity and academic achievement standards under Title I.

Total obligated federal dollars across the 17-award portfolio amount to $280 thousand over the past five years, reflecting the modest scale of rural school funding. Activity has been sporadic — one award in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only one award scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months. Riverside Elementary operates as a prime recipient on 82% of its awards and as a sub-recipient on 18%, concentrating entirely on K-12 education formula grants rather than competing for federal contracts or procurement vehicles. The institution's federal footprint is noncontractual and non-commercial; it functions as an eligible applicant for rural school support grants under federal education policy rather than as a vendor in the federal procurement marketplace.
