Calvert ISD

Calvert ISD, doing business as Calvert JR SR High School, is a non-profit school district entity in Calvert, Texas, that receives federal education grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient through the Texas Education Agency. The district operates exclusively in the K-12 education grant space with no federal contracting footprint.

As a tax-exempt local government school district, Calvert ISD is a child entity under its parent, Calvert Independent School District. The district's federal award activity is concentrated entirely within Department of Education Elementary and Secondary Education Act programs. Prime awards center on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program — a formula grant — with three consecutive annual grants awarded on July 1 in 2024, 2025, and 2026, each running through the following September 30. Sub-recipient awards flow through the Texas Education Agency under Title I, Part A of the Every Student Succeeds Act, which provides supplemental funding to schools serving high concentrations of low-income students. The district has received eight Title I, Part A sub-awards from the TEA between August 2022 and August 2026, supporting efforts to improve academic achievement in state content standards.

Calvert ISD's federal footprint is minimal but consistent. Across the past five years, the district has received 16 total awards (5 prime, 11 sub), generating $2.7 million in combined obligations, with all awards originating from a single customer agency — the Department of Education. Activity has remained flat at one to three awards per year, with no growth trajectory. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited recompete exposure. The district's role is exclusively recipient-side grant administration within the federal K-12 education ecosystem; it does not serve as a contractor, subcontractor, or vendor to other federal prime awardees.
