Shoshone Joint School District

Shoshone Joint School District, a U.S. government entity and public school district headquartered in Shoshone, Idaho, receives federal education grants as a prime recipient and sub-recipient through the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates entirely within the federal grant ecosystem, with roughly 53% of recent awards flowing through sub-awards from the Idaho State Board of Education and 47% as direct formula grants.

The district's federal funding centers on K–12 education support programs. As a prime recipient, Shoshone Joint School District has received five consecutive annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 each year from 2022 through 2026, running through September 30 of the following year. As a sub-recipient, the district receives pass-through funding from the Idaho State Board of Education across four grantor programs: Special Education Grants to States, Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies, the National School Lunch Program, Special Education State Personnel Development, the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, and the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund. The most recent sub-awards are dated as recently as December 2024, spanning special education and nutrition support.

Shoshone Joint School District's customer footprint is dominated by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (24 awards, 44% of the portfolio) and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (16 awards, 29% of the portfolio), together accounting for 91% of recent awards. The Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services contributes 9 awards (16% of the total), and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region holds 1 award with $25 thousand in combined potential value. The combined potential value across all 55 awards is $82 thousand, significantly lower than the combined dollars obligated of $2 million, indicating that actual reimbursable spending has substantially exceeded the stated potential value across the district's multi-year grant portfolio. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited immediate recompete activity.
