Smyer Independent School District

Smyer Independent School District, a Texas-based public school district, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with supplemental sub-grant funding routed through the Texas Education Agency under Title I, Part A and pandemic-relief programs. The district does not hold federal contracts and does not operate as a federal contractor.

Smyer ISD's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within Department of Education funding. The district has received 20 prime grants and 12 sub-grants across a recent thirty-two-award footprint spanning from 2007 through mid-2026, with combined obligations of $2.3 million. All recorded awards derive from a single customer agency — the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education — accounting for 97% of the district's federal award activity.

The district's primary federal revenue stream is the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSAP), a formula grant from the Department of Education. Smyer has drawn SRSAP awards annually from July 2022 through July 2026, with each award running a fifteen-month cycle (July through September of the following fiscal year). The most recent SRSAP award arrived July 1, 2026, with ultimate completion September 30, 2027. In its role as sub-recipient, Smyer ISD receives Title I, Part A supplemental funding through the Texas Education Agency to support schools serving high concentrations of students from low-income families, enabling implementation of schoolwide or targeted-assistance programs aligned to state academic standards. The district also received Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER II) pandemic-response funding via the Texas Education Agency in 2021, designated for addressing COVID-19 impacts on student social-emotional, mental health, and academic needs.

Activity has remained flat year over year — averaging three awards annually from 2022 through 2024, then declining to two in 2025 and two in 2026. One award (combined potential value not specified in the source) carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months. The district operates as a K–12 public school entity and does not engage in federal contracting, sub-contracting to primes, or partnership arrangements with federal contractors on the award side.
