Weleetka Public Schools

Weleetka Public Schools, doing business as Spence Memorial Elementary School, is a U.S. local government entity and school district located in Weleetka, Oklahoma, that operates as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with secondary participation in the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service programs.

The organization's federal footprint consists entirely of grant work — no prime contracts or IDVs. Weleetka Public Schools holds 59 prime grant awards (86% of total activity) and 10 sub-awards (14%), concentrated across three named federal education programs administered through the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The primary vehicles are the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grants), Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (formula grants), and Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (project grants with multi-year terms). As a prime recipient, Weleetka Public Schools receives annual or multi-year formula allocations and project grants directly from the federal grantor. As a sub-recipient, the organization receives pass-through funding from the State Department of Education primarily for child nutrition reimbursement (cafeteria meal programs) under Department of Agriculture programs, as well as Title IV, Part A (Oklahoma Champions of Excellence Initiative) and Title I academic support funding under education-focused sub-awards.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 61 awards (88% of the 69-award portfolio), with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service representing 8 awards (12%). Combined obligation across all awards totals $4.7 million. Recent prime grant awards include a Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant awarded July 1, 2026 (ultimate completion September 30, 2027), an Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs award dated July 1, 2026 (completion June 30, 2027), and an Impact Aid Program project grant awarded October 1, 2025 (completion September 30, 2031). Activity has grown modestly — three awards in 2022 to nine in 2024 — but slowed to five in 2025 and three in 2026. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore require recompete or renewal actions in that window.
