Avalon Independent School District

Avalon Independent School District operates as a federal grant recipient (61% of recent awards as prime recipient), delivering K–12 education and instructional improvement programs in rural Texas under recurring formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Avalon ISD is a U.S. government entity classified as a local school district, headquartered at 104 FM 55, Avalon, Texas; it does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem.

Avalon ISD's federal footprint centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant mechanism that has funded the district annually since at least 2022. The district received Small, Rural School Achievement Program grants in July 2026 (completion September 2027), July 2025 (completion September 2026), July 2024 (completion September 2025), July 2023 (completion September 2024), and July 2022 (completion September 2023). In its role as subrecipient, Avalon ISD has received Title I, Part A pass-through funding from the Texas Education Agency to support low-income student achievement under the Every Student Succeeds Act, with sub-awards flowing in for instructional leadership development, high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) implementation through Texas open education resources, and professional learning for teachers and administrators. Sub-awards include a Strong Foundations Implementation sub-award (August 2025) for technical assistance and professional learning in OER instructional materials, and instructional leadership pathway training and coaching (August 2025) delivered through Texas Education Service Centers and vetted vendors.

Customer concentration is absolute—all 30 awards in the source come from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, representing 97% of the district's recent federal award activity. Total dollars obligated across all awards in the source data reach $1.5 million, reflecting the small-dollar, formula-grant nature of rural school district federal funding. Activity has been modest and episodic: one award each in 2022 and 2023, three in 2024, five in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The district's federal role is operational rather than vendor-facing—Avalon ISD executes Title I and rural school improvement programs using pass-through and direct federal education dollars, with no indication of subcontracting services to external vendors or holding positions on federal vehicles.
