Tidioute Community Charter School

Tidioute Community Charter School, doing business as Tccs, is a tax-exempt nonprofit educational institution based in Tidioute, Pennsylvania, that operates as a federal grant recipient focused on K–12 education programming. The entity is designated a DOT Certified DBE and receives federal education funding directly from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education as a prime recipient, with the vast majority of its federal footprint (80% of recent awards) routed through sub-recipient grants administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

Tccs's federal grant portfolio centers on two primary streams. The school is a prime recipient of Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards in July 2022, July 2023, July 2024, July 2025, and July 2026; the most recent award carries an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027. In its sub-recipient capacity, Tccs receives entitlement funding through the Pennsylvania Department of Education for child nutrition programs — specifically reimbursement for meals and milk provided to school children — with recurring sub-awards dating from 2022 through mid-2026. Tccs also received sub-recipient funding from Pennsylvania under federal academic support programs including Title I (improving teaching and learning for at-risk students), Title IV (well-rounded education and school conditions), and Title II (teacher and principal quality), as well as American Rescue Plan Act funding for learning loss remediation, summer enrichment, afterschool programming, and services to homeless children and youth.

Customer concentration is narrow and education-focused. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 57 awards (child nutrition sub-awards), and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 34 awards (including direct prime grants and sub-awards for academic support and pandemic relief). Combined, these two customer streams represent the entire active portfolio. Activity has grown from six awards in 2022 to eighteen in 2024 and twenty-five in 2025, though with only eleven awards recorded in 2026 to date. Total obligated dollars across all awards reach $2.1 million. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window.
