Excelsior ISD

Excelsior Elementary School, a rural public school serving Center, Texas, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with no contracting or IDV footprint. The entity operates as a U.S. local government school district and participates in both direct formula grants and sub-awards routed through the Texas Education Agency.

Excelsior Elementary functions primarily as a federal grant recipient (58% of recent awards as prime, 42% as sub-recipient). The school's federal funding sources concentrate entirely with the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education — 100% of awards across the source data. As a direct prime recipient, Excelsior has received four consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program awards (July 2022 through July 2026), each running from award date through the following September 30. These formula grants support operations at the rural campuses. In parallel, Excelsior acts as a sub-recipient on ten federal grants flowing through the Texas Education Agency since 2022, including Title I, Part A supplemental funding for low-income student support, School Improvement Curriculum & Instruction Grants, and the LIFT Add-On: School Improvement Professional Learning Community program. The Title I, Part A sub-awards specifically support evidence-based instruction and resources at schools serving high concentrations of low-income students; several carry amendments dated as recently as April 2025 and June 2023.

Activity in recent years remains consistent at two to four awards annually, with total obligations across the full award portfolio reaching $1.2 million. One award (the Small, Rural School Achievement Program sub-award from the Texas Education Agency dated August 26, 2026) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, posing minimal recompete concentration risk. The school has no presence on federal contracts, IDVs, BPAs, or GWACs — its engagement with federal funding is entirely grant-based, flowing through the Education Department's statutory formula-grant programs and state education agency pass-through mechanisms. The entity does not function as a federal contractor or subcontractor and operates no commercial federal sales channels.
