The Delta Charter Group

The Delta Charter Group, doing business as Delta Charter School Of Math, Science & Technology, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Ferriday, Louisiana that operates as a grant recipient in federal K–12 education funding programs, receiving direct formula grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and functioning as a sub-recipient on a much larger portfolio of pass-through education and nutrition grants from the Louisiana Department of Administration. The organization operates almost entirely as a sub-recipient (95% of recent awards) rather than as a prime, with minimal direct federal contracting exposure.

Delta's federal footprint centers on K–12 education and school nutrition programs. As a prime recipient, Delta has secured three formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education: awards issued July 1, 2024 (completion September 30, 2025), July 1, 2025 (completion September 30, 2026), and July 1, 2026 (completion September 30, 2027). In its dominant sub-recipient capacity, Delta receives pass-through funding from the Louisiana Department of Administration across multiple federal programs, including Title I (supporting disadvantaged students), Title IIA (improving teacher quality), IDEA Part B 611 (special education services), the Food and Nutrition Program for Louisiana Children (child nutrition), and pandemic-relief programs including ESSER II and ESSER III funds. Sub-awards under these programs span from December 2021 through August 2026, with the most recent awards in August 2026 covering Title IIA, Title I, IDEA Part B 611, and child nutrition support.

Customer concentration aligns entirely with education funders. The three funding sources account for 100% of recent awards: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (32 awards), the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (26 awards), and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (6 awards). Activity has grown modestly, from six awards in 2021 to twenty in 2025, with eight awards recorded year-to-date through August 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $3.9 million. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, minimizing recompete exposure in the near term. Delta's federal grant engagement is locally rooted and educationally focused, with no federal contracting vehicle participation, no prime contracting awards, and no subcontracting relationships outside the state education system.
