Evant Independent School District

Evant Independent School District, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Evant, Texas, receives federal education grants as a prime recipient through the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with the vast majority of its federal funding (72% of awards) flowing through sub-awards from the Texas Education Agency rather than direct federal awards.

Evant ISD holds a direct federal grant footprint concentrated in the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district has received this grant in five successive years — July 2022 through September 2023, July 2023 through September 2024, July 2024 through September 2025, July 2025 through September 2026, and most recently July 2026 through September 2027 — representing stable, recurring federal support for rural school operations. Beyond that single direct vehicle, Evant ISD's federal exposure is dominated by sub-awards flowing from the Texas Education Agency, the state intermediary for federal K-12 education funding. The district has received twenty-six sub-awards across Title I Part A (Elementary and Secondary Education Act), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA-B) Formula funds, the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, school improvement grants under Title I section 1003, and Texas COVID Learning Acceleration Supports (TCLAS). Sub-award work spans academic enrichment during non-school hours for high-poverty and low-performing schools, supplemental instruction in core subjects for low-income students, professional learning community support, instructional leadership development, and special education services for students with disabilities ages three through twenty-one.

Federal funding concentration sits entirely within the Department of Education (35 awards through OESE, one through the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services), with combined dollars obligated at $6.3 million across the full award history. Activity has remained modest and relatively flat year over year — ranging from four to six awards annually across the past five years — with only one award reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term. Evant ISD functions as a sub-recipient on the overwhelming majority of its federal footprint, receiving pass-through funding and programmatic guidance from the Texas Education Agency for implementation of federal education initiatives at the local school level.
