Tekoa School District

Tekoa School District, a U.S. local government entity structured as a rural school district (Tekoa Junior-Senior High School, School District 265), receives federal education and nutrition funding as a prime grant recipient and sub-recipient. The district does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; all federal transacting is through federal grant awards and sub-awards.

The district operates as a grant recipient across five federal funding agencies, with near-total concentration in Department of Education programs. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 22 of 45 total awards in the source period; the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 17. Secondary recipients include the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (3 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (2 awards), and one additional HHS sub-award. The district functions as a prime recipient in 42% of awards and as a sub-recipient in 58%, receiving funds passed through the Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Washington Health Care Authority.

Tekoa School District's prime federal grant work centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (REAP), administered through the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district has received five consecutive annual REAP formula grants: awards dated July 1, 2022 through July 1, 2026, with ultimate completion dates running through September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district draws funding through the Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction for special education services under IDEA Part B (Section 611), Title I, Part A literacy and achievement programs, and child nutrition program reimbursement and administrative support. The district also receives pass-through funding from the Washington Health Care Authority for Prevention and Promotion Client Services, with three sub-awards dated August 24, 2026.

Combined dollars obligated across all 45 awards total $1.2 million over a nineteen-year source period (first award July 1, 2007), averaging modest annual federal obligations. Award volume spiked to ten awards in 2023 and eleven in 2024, then declined to five in 2025 and four in 2026. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The district's federal footprint is characteristic of a small rural school district: recurring annual education and nutrition formula allocations, pass-through sub-awards from state education and health authorities, and no contracting or procurement posture.
