Bovina Independent School District

Bovina Independent School District, a public school district headquartered in Bovina, Texas, receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient focused on rural education achievement and Title I supplemental funding for low-income student populations, with secondary participation in sub-grant awards passed through the Texas Education Agency.

Bovina is a U.S. local government entity — a school district — with no federal contracting footprint; all federal funding flows through grant programs rather than procurement vehicles. The district's federal activity concentrates entirely on the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which accounts for 34 of 35 awards (97% of the portfolio). The one remaining award comes from the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. As a prime recipient, Bovina holds five consecutive annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, with awards dated July 1 in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, running through September 30 of the following year. The 2026 award completes September 30, 2027.

The district's sub-grant activity reflects pass-through funding from the Texas Education Agency for Title I, Part A supplemental resources and specialized initiatives. Twelve sub-awards received since July 2022 address Title I supplemental education quality improvements for high-concentration low-income student populations; the Effective Advising Framework (EAF) for individual student planning and career and technical education support; and a LIFT Add-On grant supporting school improvement campuses with high-quality instructional materials and professional learning communities. The most recent sub-awards are dated August 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all 36 awards total $2.8 million, reflecting the modest scale typical of rural district formula grants. Activity has remained stable at three to four awards annually over the past five years, with one award (the 2024–2025 Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
