South Wasco County School Dist #1

South Wasco County School District #1, doing business as South Wasco County High School, is a rural public school district in Maupin, Oregon that receives federal education grants as a direct recipient from the U.S. Department of Education, with the vast majority of its federal funding (72% of awards) flowing through sub-award channels from the Oregon Department of Education. The district operates as a U.S. local government entity and does not hold federal contracts as a prime or subcontractor; all federal activity is grant-based.

The district's federal footprint centers entirely on K–12 education funding from two Department of Education offices. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 51 of 64 awards, and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 13 awards, covering 100% of the district's federal grant portfolio. As a direct recipient, the district holds five prime grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grants with award dates of July 1 in each year from 2022 through 2026, running through September 30 of the following year). As a sub-recipient from the Oregon Department of Education, the district has received 46 federal sub-awards spanning Title I Part A/D Basic Grants to LEAs, Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants, Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants, IDEA Part B 611 and 619 special education funding, the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund (ARP-ESSER), and Special Education Preschool grants. Sub-award activity has been consistent across the past several years, with six to eight awards per year between 2022 and 2026, and the most recent sub-award issued August 7, 2026 under Student Support and Academic Enrichment.

Combined dollars obligated across all 64 awards total $2.4 million. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable, recurring formula-grant funding with minimal recompete exposure in the immediate term. The district's federal grant activity reflects its status as a small rural school district eligible for formula-based elementary and secondary education grants and special education funding rather than competitive procurement or contract work.
