Nazareth Independent School District

Nazareth Independent School District, a public school district located in Nazareth, Texas, receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Education and serves as a sub-recipient of pass-through grants from the Texas Education Agency, with no contracting activity.

The district operates as a local government entity and has generated $1.3 million in combined obligated federal dollars across thirty awards since 2007. Prime grants account for 67% of recent awards (twenty awards), while sub-grants from state intermediaries represent 33% of activity (ten awards). Customer concentration is entirely within the Department of Education: the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has issued twenty-three awards, and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services has issued seven awards, accounting for 100% of the district's federal funding footprint.

Nazareth's federal grant work centers on two recurring programs. The district has received five successive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, awarded on July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026, with ultimate completion dates running through September 30, 2027. The district also participates as a sub-recipient in the IDEA Part B (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) formula grant program, receiving seven sub-awards from the Texas Education Agency between August 2022 and August 2026. Those IDEA-B sub-awards fund special education and related services for eligible students ages 3 through 21 and ensure compliance with 20 U.S.C. § 1400 and 34 CFR § 300.1. Award frequency has remained flat over the past five years, averaging two to three awards annually, with one award reaching completion within the next twenty-four months.
