Spring Hill School District

Spring Hill School District, operating as Spring Hill High School, is a U.S. local government school district based in Hope, Arkansas that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient under the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) and participates in federal nutrition and special education programs as a sub-recipient of state pass-through grants from the Arkansas Department of Education.

Spring Hill School District holds no federal contracts and does not operate as a federal contractor. Its federal footprint is grant-based and operational in character rather than procurement-focused. The district receives annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA) directly from OESE, with awards issued each July for the following fiscal year. Recent SRSA grants carry award dates of July 1, 2022 through July 1, 2026, with ultimate completion dates running through September 30, 2027. The district also acts as a sub-recipient of federal funding channeled through the Arkansas Department of Education, including child nutrition program (CNP) reimbursements for federally subsidized student meals (breakfast, lunch, and after-school snacks); Title I funds for teacher quality, student achievement support, literacy and math materials, tutoring, and professional development; Title II funds for teacher and principal recruitment, induction, professional development, and retention; Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) program funding for well-rounded education access, school conditions improvement, and technology integration; and IDEA special education funds for services to children ages three to five and school-age students with disabilities, including salaries, therapy services (speech, occupational, physical), and materials.

The district's customer base is entirely education-sector federal agencies. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 27 awards (68% of the award portfolio) as the direct grantor on SRSA formula grants. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service represents 9 awards (23%) through nutrition reimbursement sub-awards, and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services represents 4 awards (10%) through IDEA pass-through allocations, together covering 100% of recent activity. Combined dollars obligated across all forty awards over the source period total $1.9 million, reflecting the formula-grant and reimbursement-based nature of K–12 district federal funding. Activity has fluctuated — four awards in 2022, climbing to ten in 2023, declining to six in 2024, and seven in 2025 — with only one award reaching completion within the next twenty-four months. The district does not hold federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs and does not serve as a contractor or subcontractor in federal procurement.
