Loop Independent School District

Loop Independent School District (also known as Loop I S D 083902), a Texas public school district headquartered in Loop, operates as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, receiving formula grants and sub-awards tied to Title I supplemental funding for low-income student populations.

Loop ISD is a U.S. local government entity and school district with no federal contract work; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards and sub-awards. The district serves as a prime recipient on five awards spanning 2022 through 2027 under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA), a formula grant vehicle administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Award dates fall annually on July 1, with ultimate completion dates of September 30 each year. Most recent prime award was July 1, 2026, with completion targeted for September 30, 2027. Loop ISD also receives Title I, Part A sub-awards through the Texas Education Agency as the prime grantee. Title I, Part A provides supplemental resources to support schools with high concentrations of low-income students in meeting state academic and performance standards; Loop has received nine documented sub-awards under this program between August 2022 and July 2026, with at least two sub-awards amended during fiscal 2024 and 2025.

Loop's customer base is monolithic — 97% of the district's 31 total awards (prime and sub combined) are from a single grantor, the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, through either direct formula grants (SRSA) or state pass-through allocations (Title I via Texas Education Agency). The district accounts for 61% of awards as a prime recipient (five SRSA grants) and 39% as a sub-recipient (nine Title I sub-awards). Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $1 million. Activity has remained flat at three awards per year for the past four years (2022–2025), with two awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window.

Loop ISD's federal engagement is characteristic of rural school districts in the SRSA and Title I ecosystems — formula-driven, stable, low-dollar federal funding for rural elementary and secondary education serving economically disadvantaged student populations.
