Oglesby Independent School District

Oglesby Independent School District, a U.S. local government school district based in Oglesby, Texas, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and as a sub-recipient from the Texas Education Agency and Texas Department of Agriculture. The district does not hold federal prime contracts and operates exclusively in the grant space, with 58% of its recent awards as prime recipient and 42% as sub-recipient.

Oglesby ISD's federal footprint is concentrated in K–12 education funding. As a prime recipient, the district has received five consecutive Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (July 2022 through July 2026), with the most recent award covering the period through September 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district receives pass-through funding from the Texas Education Agency for Title I, Part A supplemental education funding under the Every Student Succeeds Act, targeted at schools with high concentrations of students from low-income families; sub-awards from this program are dated August 2022, August 2023, July 2024, and July 2025. The district also received two sub-awards from the Texas Department of Agriculture for 2023 National School Lunch Program equipment grants in December 2024. One sub-award references ESSER II pandemic-response funding from the Texas Education Agency in November 2021.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education anchors 31 of 33 total awards (94%), with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service representing the remaining 2 awards (6%). Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $1.8 million. Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years, averaging three awards per year in 2022–2023 and 2025, with four awards in 2024 and two through August 2026. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in that window. The district's federal engagement is characteristic of small rural school districts: recurring formula-grant participation rather than competitive procurement, funding routed through state intermediaries, and focus on Title I supplemental instruction and school nutrition support.
