Nursery Independent School District

Nursery Independent School District, a public school district headquartered in Victoria, Texas, receives federal education funding as a grant recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program and Title I, Part A supplemental education grants, with no federal contracting footprint. The district operates as a U.S. local government entity within the K–12 education sector and does not bid on federal contracts or hold prime positions on federal contract vehicles.

The district's federal award activity consists entirely of education grants from two agencies. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has issued five consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants to Nursery ISD, with awards dated July 1 of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 (the most recent carrying completion through September 30, 2027). In parallel, Nursery ISD receives Title I, Part A sub-awards from the Texas Education Agency under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to support supplemental instruction for students from low-income families; these sub-awards, dated August 18 and August 29 of 2024, 2023, and 2022, are amended periodically (most recently June 5, 2025). The district also received a single Local Food for Schools sub-award from the Texas Department of Agriculture on June 7, 2024. Across its entire award footprint, Nursery ISD has obligated $790 thousand cumulatively and served two distinct federal funding agencies — the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture — with 97% of awards concentrated in education programming.

Nursery ISD's role is split between prime grant recipient (61% of awards, the five direct Small, Rural School Achievement Program grants) and sub-recipient (39% of awards, the Title I, Part A and local food programs flowing through the Texas Education Agency). Award volume has remained flat to modest — three to four awards annually over the past five years — with a single award reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months (the September 30, 2025 Title I, Part A sub-award). The district does not compete for federal contracts, does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, and does not appear in federal procurement databases as a prime or subcontractor.
