Blanket Independent School District

Blanket Independent School District, a U.S. local government entity and public school district headquartered in Blanket, Texas, receives federal formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education as a prime grant recipient and as a sub-recipient flowing funding through the Texas Education Agency. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the grant space rather than as a procurement vendor or contractor.

Blanket ISD's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with the Department of Education, which accounts for 97% of recent awards across 34 total items. The district receives prime formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program on an annual award cycle (awards dated July 1 in each of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with ultimate completion dates running through September 30 of the following year). In parallel, the district operates as a sub-recipient of Title I, Part A funding under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), as well as supplemental state grants including Strong Foundations Implementation (open educational resource instructional materials support) and LIFT Add-On grants (school improvement and instructional coaching). The sub-award stream reflects pass-through funding from the Texas Education Agency on behalf of the federal grantor, with sub-awards documented as early as 2022 and continuing through mid-2026.

Combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $1.7 million, reflecting the small-dollar, formula-grant nature of rural-school funding streams. Activity has remained relatively flat — three awards per year in 2022, 2023, and 2024, rising slightly to five in 2025 and three in 2026 — with only one award facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The district's role is as a recipient and administrator of Title I supplemental education funding and rural-school achievement support, not as a vendor or services provider to the federal government. Blanket ISD is not a procurement target for federal contractors; the district is an end-user agency receiving education funding allocations and instructional-support grants.
