Roland Public School

Roland Public School, doing business as Roland Superintendent's Office, is a U.S. local government entity and school district based in Roland, Oklahoma that receives federal education funding as a prime grant recipient from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with a secondary federal revenue stream routed through sub-awards from the Oklahoma Department of Education and state career and technical education agencies. The district operates exclusively in the federal grant space—no federal contracts or contract vehicles—and receives education-formula and impact-aid funding intended to support instructional programs and meal services for federally connected students.

Roland Public School's federal customer base is concentrated in education and food-security programs. The top two funding agencies account for all 43 awards in the source record: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (25 awards, approximately 58% of the portfolio) funds the district's core education and impact-aid work, while the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (14 awards, approximately 33%) supports meal reimbursement. The Department of Education Office of Career Technical and Adult Education, the Agricultural Marketing Service, and the top-level Department of Education account for the remaining four awards. Roland does not maintain parent contract vehicles, GWACs, or BPAs; all federal funding arrives as direct education grants or as sub-awards passed through state-level prime grantees.

As a prime recipient, Roland has received two recurring federal grant programs: Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (CFDA not specified in source) and the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). Representative prime grants include a $137,646 Impact Aid award issued October 1, 2025, with a six-year performance period extending through September 30, 2031, to support financial assistance for federally connected students whose presence reduces the district's local tax base, and annual Indian Education Formula Grants spanning July 1 cycles. As a sub-recipient, Roland receives pass-through funding from the Oklahoma Department of Education for meal reimbursements (the majority of sub-awards), vocational education grants from the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education, and a single local-food reimbursement award from the Department of Agriculture. The sub-award stream reflects operational support for child nutrition and career-technical education rather than grant administration or instructional subcontracts.

Activity has grown recently, rising from one award in 2022 to seventeen in 2024, then declining to four in 2025 and two in 2026. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating low recompete exposure in the near term. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $4.3 million over the source-data period. Roland's federal footprint is characteristic of a small rural school district with significant federal-property employee or military-connected student populations, making it eligible for Impact Aid, and serving Native American or other federally recognized student populations qualifying for Indian Education funding.
