Deweyville Independent School District

Deweyville Independent School District, a U.S. local government entity and public school district headquartered in Orange, Texas, receives federal education funding as a grant recipient rather than as a federal contractor. The district acts as prime recipient on direct formula grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, and as a sub-recipient on pass-through grants from the Texas Education Agency and the Texas Department of Public Safety. The district has not held federal contracts or contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards spanning education, special education, and emergency management programs.

The district's customer concentration is narrow and consistent. Three federal agencies account for 98% of awards: the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (28 awards as prime recipient and sub-recipient combined), the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (7 awards), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (5 awards). The dollar magnitude across all 41 awards totals $4.7 million obligated.

As prime recipient, Deweyville receives annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district holds five consecutive awards dating from 2022 through 2026, with the most recent award dated July 1, 2026 and carrying a completion date of September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district receives funding routed through the Texas Education Agency for Title I, Part A (Elementary and Secondary Education Act) supplemental instruction in high-poverty schools, IDEA-B formula funding to support free appropriate public education for children with disabilities ages three through twenty-one, and Title II, Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction) grants to improve teacher and principal quality and effectiveness. The district also receives sub-awards from the Texas Department of Public Safety related to agricultural classroom and demolition activities. Recent sub-awards include instructional leadership pathway training and coaching support for campus and district leaders (August 31, 2026, from the Texas Education Agency) and Title I, Part A supplemental funding (July 11, 2026, from the Texas Education Agency, amended September 12, 2026).

Activity shows a plateau: five to six awards annually from 2022 through 2025, declining to four in 2026. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The district functions as a local educational agency administering federal education dollars for classroom instruction and special education services; it neither sells services to other contractors nor operates as a subcontractor in the traditional federal procurement sense.
