South Holt School District R1

South Holt School District R1, a U.S. local government entity and Missouri school district based in Oregon, Missouri, is a recipient of federal education grants focused on Title I disadvantaged-student services, special education, and nutrition programming, operating as both a prime grant recipient (51% of recent awards) and a sub-recipient routed through the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (49% of awards).

South Holt is a public school district with no federal contracting footprint; all recent federal activity is grant-based. The district's customer concentration is entirely within the Department of Education and allied food-assistance programs. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 29 of 35 awards (83% coverage) as both direct recipient and pass-through grantor; the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service represents 4 awards (nutrition-assistance programming); and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services represents 2 awards. As a direct prime recipient, South Holt receives Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants — annual awards on July 1 running through September 30, with consecutive awards in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 (the most recent award closing in September 2027). As a sub-recipient, South Holt receives pass-through funding from Missouri's state education agency under Title I Part A (Educationally Deprived), IDEA Part B (special education), the Child Nutrition Program Block Grant, and emergency relief provisions including the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund (ARP-ESSER) and the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund.

Activity has remained modest and relatively flat — three to six awards per year across the past five years — with only one award (combined obligated dollars $2 million across all recent activity) facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. The district operates no parent vehicles, IDIQs, or blanket-purchase agreements; all funding flows through direct federal formula grants or state agency pass-throughs. Recent sub-recipient awards include Title I Part A funding (July 2026, July 2025, July 2024, July 2023, July 2022), IDEA Part B special-education grants (July 2026, July 2025, July 2024), Child Nutrition Program Block Grant awards (July 2026, December 2024, May 2024, April 2023, January 2022), and American Rescue Plan supplemental funding (March 2024, January 2023). South Holt's federal posture is characteristic of rural small school districts with no contracting capability or competitive procurement footprint — the district qualifies for formula-driven education grants under federal statutory set-asides for small and rural schools and receives education and nutrition sub-awards through mandatory state-agency pass-through mechanisms.
