Salome Elementary School

Salome Elementary School, a school district entity operated by Salome Consolidated Elementary School District #30 in Salome, Arizona, is a federal grant recipient that receives funding directly from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and indirectly through pass-through grants from the Arizona Department of Education. The district operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it does not hold federal contracts and is not a subcontractor to private federal vendors.

Salome Elementary School is a public K–12 school district entity with no SBA designations or business-type classifications beyond its designation as a U.S. local government and school district. The district's federal footprint consists entirely of educational formula grants and sub-grant awards supporting rural school operations, special education service delivery, Title I programs, nutrition services, and professional development for instructional staff.

The district's prime federal grant work centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA) administered through the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Salome has received five consecutive annual SRSA awards spanning July 2022 through September 2027, with each award running from July 1 through September 30 of the following year. The most recent SRSA award dates to July 1, 2026, with ultimate completion scheduled for September 30, 2027. Beyond SRSA, the district receives sub-grant pass-throughs from the Arizona Department of Education covering special education (IDEA Basic Section 611 subgrants to local educational agencies), Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies, nutrition programs (implied via USDA Food and Nutrition Service awards), and professional development initiatives tied to small rural school conferencing and contracted diagnostic services. Sub-awards from Arizona Department of Education specify program uses including professional development attendance at the Small Rural Schools annual conference, contracted psychologist services for special education eligibility determination, and operations per Title I and IDEA Basic grant guidelines.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which accounts for 21 of 28 total awards (100% coverage of the top customer count).
