About the company
Rapides Parish School Board, doing business as Media Center, a U.S. local government entity and public school district based in Alexandria, Louisiana, operates as a sub-recipient of federal education and nutrition grants, with 87% of its 187 recent awards flowing through Louisiana state intermediaries rather than as direct prime grants. The district receives federal funding through formula grants and sub-awards managed by the Louisiana Department of Administration and the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, with no direct federal contracting activity.
The district's federal footprint centers on K–12 education and child nutrition support. Direct prime grants include Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA program) awarded annually by the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards spanning fiscal years 2022 through 2027. Sub-award work dominates the portfolio, flowing through Louisiana state pass-through mechanisms and encompassing Title I, Title III, IDEA Part B 611, IDEA Preschool 619, Migrant Education, Title II-A teacher professional development, Title IV Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Academic Enrichment, Homeless Children and Youth support, Early Childhood Workforce Professional Development Grants (PDG), Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) III and ESSER II formula and incentive funding, food and nutrition programs for Louisiana children, AI interventions in instruction, literacy initiatives, and building repairs funded through disaster recovery and emergency preparedness accounts.
Customer concentration is stark and education-focused. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education anchors 94 of the district's 187 awards; the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service provides 58 awards; the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services contributes 22 awards; and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and the Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition each provide 4 awards. These five agencies account for 97% of award count. The district obligated $372.2 million across all awards over the source period, with only 1 award scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable ongoing funding rather than a near-term recompete cliff.
Activity has grown substantially. The district received 5 awards in 2022, 33 in 2023, 41 in 2024, 50 in 2025, and 28 through August 2026, reflecting expansion in federal education and nutrition programming flowing through state intermediaries. The district operates exclusively as a sub-recipient under state administration, with no prime contracting vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs in its portfolio and no direct federal contracting relationships. All work is performed within Rapides Parish schools and sub-grantee organizations serving the district's student population.
