Shady Grove School District 26

Shady Grove School District 26, a U.S. local government school district headquartered in Hulbert, Oklahoma, receives federal education and nutrition grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, operating as a grant recipient (94% of recent awards) rather than a federal contractor. The district does not hold federal contract vehicles and does not employ subcontractors on federal contracts.

The district's federal funding footprint is concentrated entirely within education and child nutrition assistance programs. Over the past several years, Shady Grove has received recurring annual formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program and the Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (Local Educational Agencies), with multi-year project grants under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003. Recent representative grants include a Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant awarded July 1, 2026, running through September 30, 2027; an Indian Education Formula Grants award covering July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027; and a multi-year Impact Aid project grant awarded October 1, 2025, extending through September 30, 2031. The district also receives sub-grants from the Oklahoma State Department of Education, functioning as a sub-recipient under Title IV, Part A funds (Oklahoma Champions of Excellence Initiative) and child nutrition reimbursement programs managed by the state.

All federal funding flows through the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (60 awards) and subordinate programs, with minimal diversification into Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service and broader Department of Education channels (2 and 2 awards respectively, accounting for the balance). Combined federal obligations across all awards total $2.8 million. Activity volume has remained modest and stable over the past five years, ranging between two and five awards annually. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal submission. The district's role is exclusively as a direct grant recipient managing federal education assistance funds for the schools it operates, with no reported federal contracting activity, federal contracts vehicles, or prime contractor relationships.
