Dew Independent School District

Dew Independent School District, a U.S. local government school district headquartered in Teague, Texas, is a federal grant recipient focused on K–12 education programs serving rural and economically disadvantaged student populations. The district operates as a prime recipient on direct Department of Education awards and as a sub-recipient on pass-through grants from the Texas Education Agency, with 65% of its federal award footprint in the prime-recipient role and 35% as a sub-recipient.

The district's federal footprint centers on two education funding streams. As a prime recipient, Dew ISD has received five consecutive annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated annually from July 2022 through July 2026 and ultimate completion dates running through September 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district has received nine pass-through grants from the Texas Education Agency, including multiple Title I, Part A awards under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015) that support supplemental instruction for schools with high concentrations of low-income students, and one COVID-19 relief award under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 (ESSER II funding). The Title I, Part A sub-awards are recurring; the source documents amendments to awards in March 2025 and April 2023, indicating ongoing performance adjustments.

The district's federal customer base is concentrated entirely within the Department of Education, which accounts for 97% of its thirty-one total awards (29 awards from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, 1 from the Department of Education). Over the past five years, award activity has remained flat at three awards per year (2022–2025), with two awards recorded for 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $975 thousand over the source's historical span. One award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The district does not hold federal contracts, IDVs, or BPAs; its federal presence is limited to education grant programs administered through the Department of Education and the Texas Education Agency.
