Mccamey Independent School District, TX

Mccamey Independent School District, TX, a U.S. local government school district located in McCamey, Texas, acts as a recipient of federal education grants and a sub-recipient on federally funded education programs flowing through the Texas Education Agency. The district operates as a rural school entity with no federal prime contract footprint — its federal exposure is exclusively grant-based, with 34% of its 56 recent awards held as prime grant recipient and 66% flowing through sub-grant arrangements with the Texas Education Agency as the prime grantor.

The district's federal grant work centers on elementary and secondary education programs serving students from low-income backgrounds and students with disabilities. As a prime recipient, Mccamey ISD holds annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with successive awards issued July 1, 2022 through July 1, 2026 and ultimate completion dates running through September 2027. As a sub-recipient under the Texas Education Agency, the district administers multiple federal grant programs including Title I, Part A (supplemental funding for low-income student achievement under the Every Student Succeeds Act), Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part B (IDEA-B) formula grants funding free appropriate public education for students ages three through twenty-one, IDEA-B Preschool (ages three through five), Title I, 1003 School Improvement and Comprehensive Support and Improvement grants, and the Strong Foundations OER implementation program (Texas open education resource instructional materials and professional learning). The district also received sub-awards for career pathways implementation aligned with regional labor market demand and the School Action Fund for whole-school or whole-district improvement initiatives.

Federal grant funding concentration is narrow and stable. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 40 of 56 awards; the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 14; and single awards come from the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration and the Office of Career Technical and Adult Education. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $7.9 million. Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years, averaging between five and nine awards per year, with only one award scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term. The district's federal grant profile reflects the funding model characteristic of small rural school districts — recurring formula grant receipts and state pass-through sub-awards that support special education, Title I supplemental instruction, and school improvement initiatives rather than competitive procurement or discretionary grant competition.
