Killeen Independent School District

Killeen Independent School District (doing business as Killeen ISD Administration), a public school system based in Killeen, Texas, receives federal funding as a prime grant recipient from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), with a $63.3 million award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, and operates primarily as a sub-recipient of education grants flowing through the Texas Education Agency. The district does not hold federal contracts as a prime or subcontractor and operates exclusively in the grant space, not as a federal contractor.

Killeen ISD's federal footprint centers on K–12 educational services for students in a military-connected district. As a Section 7003 Impact Aid recipient, the district receives direct federal funding to offset the tax-base erosion caused by federal property within district boundaries and the presence of students residing on federal installations or with parents on active military duty. The $63.3 million Impact Aid award funds core educational programs including general academic instruction, special education services, English language learning initiatives, career and technical education, teacher professional development, school nutrition programs, and technology integration. This direct award is the anchor of Killeen ISD's prime-recipient activity; the district has held four consecutive Impact Aid awards since 2022, with prior awards spanning February 2023 through September 2028 (awarded Feb 15, 2023), November 2023 through September 2029 (awarded Nov 22, 2023), and December 2024 through September 2030 (awarded Dec 30, 2024). The district coordinates Impact Aid funding alongside other federal grant programs including Title I, Title II, Title III, Title IV, and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part B allocations to deliver integrated services across its jurisdiction.

Killeen ISD operates as a sub-recipient on 64 awards (66% of its federal footprint), all flowing from the Texas Education Agency as the prime grantee. These sub-awards span Title I Part A (supplemental resources for low-income student achievement), Title II Part A (teacher and principal quality and effectiveness), Title III Part A (English learner proficiency), Title IV Part A (student support and academic enrichment), IDEA-B Formula (free appropriate public education for students with disabilities ages 3–21), IDEA-B Preschool (ages 3–5), IDEA-B Discretionary Deaf (deaf and hard-of-hearing students), Perkins Career and Technical Education, and Title I School Improvement grants. The Texas Education Agency sub-awards to Killeen ISD date from July 2022 forward, with the most recent tranches issued in August 2025 and amended in May 2025. A single sub-award from the Texas Department of Agriculture (awarded June 7, 2024) supports a 2024 local food service program. Over the past five years, Killeen ISD has received 3 awards in 2021, 14 in 2022, 15 in 2023, 18 in 2024, and 18 in 2025, reflecting consistent program funding volume. Combined obligated dollars across all 97 awards total $1.37 billion. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services account for 94% of all awards by count; the Department of Defense Education Activity, the Office of Career Technical and Adult Education, and the Office of English Language Acquisition round out the customer base. No recompete-cliff data is presented in the source, but Killeen ISD's Impact Aid award running through September 2031 represents the district's largest federal obligation and likely renewal cycle.
