Follett Independent School District

Follett Independent School District, a tax-exempt non-profit school district based in Follett, Texas, receives federal formula grants for rural school improvement and acts as a sub-recipient on Title I supplemental education funding awards distributed by the Texas Education Agency. The district operates exclusively within the K–12 education space, with no federal contracting activity and no exposure to competitive procurement vehicles; all federal funding flows through grant programs administered by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Follett ISD's federal footprint is concentrated in two grant programs. As a prime recipient, the district has received five consecutive annual awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSAP), with the most recent award issued July 1, 2026, running through September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, Follett ISD has received nine sub-awards from the Texas Education Agency under Title I, Part A of the Every Student Succeeds Act, designed to provide supplemental resources to schools serving high concentrations of low-income students; these sub-awards span August 2022 through July 2026, with two amended during the performance period. The district also received one sub-award under Texas COVID Learning Acceleration Supports (TCLAS) in November 2021, amended May 23, 2024. Across all federal sources, the district's combined obligation total is $907 thousand over the period documented in the source.

The district's federal activity is stable and predictable. Awards have been issued annually at a consistent rate — three awards per year for 2022–2025, with two awards recorded through mid-2026 — with the Department of Education accounting for 97% of all awards. The single award with an ultimate completion date in the next twenty-four months is the current SRSAP grant running through September 30, 2027; however, no data in the source projects recompete exposure or dollar cliff risk, as SRSAP awards appear to be discretionary annually rather than multi-year contracts requiring recompete. Follett ISD does not subcontract federal work to external vendors and is not positioned as a subcontractor to other school districts or education organizations; the district's sub-award activity consists entirely of pass-through funding received from the state education agency.
