Waynoka Public School

Waynoka Public School, a U.S. state government entity based in Waynoka, Oklahoma, receives federal grant funding as the prime recipient under the Department of Education's Small, Rural School Achievement Program and as a sub-recipient of nutrition and teacher-quality grants from the Oklahoma State Department of Education. The school district does not hold federal contracts and does not function as a contractor; it operates exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem serving K-12 education.

Waynoka Public School's federal footprint centers on the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education's Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA not specified in source), which the district has received as a formula grant five consecutive times with annual awards running from July 1 through September 30 (fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, with the most recent award issued July 1, 2026 and completion scheduled for September 30, 2027). As a sub-recipient, the school district draws funding through the Oklahoma State Department of Education under nutrition reimbursement grants designed to provide nutritionally adequate meals to children, teacher and principal quality improvement initiatives grounded in research-based practices, and Title IV Part A funding supporting the Oklahoma Champions of Excellence Initiative and equal educational opportunity programs focused on high-quality instruction and state academic achievement standards. Sub-award activity spans May 2026 back to August 2024, with five sub-grants received across nutrition, teacher quality, and general education achievement titles.

The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for all 23 of Waynoka's direct grant awards; the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service represents the remaining two awards in the source dataset. Over the past five years, award volume has ranged from one per year in 2022 and 2023 to four in 2024, with two awards recorded in each of 2025 and 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all federal sources total $615 thousand. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The school district operates as a prime recipient in 80% of its federal relationship (20 grants) and as a sub-recipient under state department pass-through funding in the remaining 20% (5 sub-grants).
