Bossier Schools

Bossier Schools is a local government entity and school district located in Benton, Louisiana, that serves as the parent organization for educational services in the Bossier Parish area. The district is registered in SAM.gov and maintains active federal funding eligibility through December 2026. Bossier Schools receives federal grant awards primarily through the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to support comprehensive K-12 educational programming. The district qualifies for Impact Aid Program funding due to the adverse effects of federal activities on its local tax base, and it leverages this and other federal grant mechanisms to maintain and enhance a wide range of educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.

Bossier Schools has received five prime federal grant awards totaling over $2.5 million since 2020 under the Impact Aid Program (Title VII, Section 7003, CFDA 84.041), with the most recent award of $181,353 dated October 1, 2025, extending through September 30, 2031. Beyond direct prime awards, the district has been the recipient of numerous sub-grant awards from the Louisiana Department of Administration, its primary grant partner, spanning a comprehensive portfolio of federal education programs. These sub-awards encompass Title I funding for disadvantaged student support, Title II-A teacher quality and professional development initiatives, Title III and Title III Immigrant programs for English language learner services, Title IV Student Support and Academic Enrichment programs, IDEA Part B 611 and IDEA Preschool 619 special education funding, Food and Nutrition programs for school meals, ESSER II and ESSER III pandemic relief and intervention funding, homeless children and youth support programs, and specialized initiatives including Real-Time Early Access to Literacy and Positive Behavioral Support systems. The district's sub-award activity demonstrates sustained engagement with federal education funding mechanisms from 2021 through 2025, with consistent annual allocations supporting instructional improvement, student support services, and equity-focused educational programming across all grade bands from pre-K through grade 12.
