Terrebonne Parish School Board

Terrebonne Parish School Board, a U.S. local government entity and public school district headquartered in Houma, Louisiana, receives and administers federal education and disaster-recovery grants as a recipient and sub-recipient, not as a prime contractor. The vast majority of its federal footprint — 88% of awards — consists of sub-recipient status through pass-through grants from the Louisiana Department of Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Louisiana Community & Technical College System, with 12% comprising direct federal grants as a prime recipient.

The board's federal activity centers on education programs and disaster recovery. As a prime grant recipient, Terrebonne Parish School Board holds five direct awards from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060), which fund culturally appropriate instruction and academic support services for Native American students. Award amounts have ranged from $384,825 to $414,478 annually, with the most recent award of $391,087 covering the period from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, the board receives grants flowing through the Louisiana Department of Administration covering Title I, Title III, IDEA Parts B and C, Title II professional development, homeless children and youth services, and the Food and Nutrition Program for Louisiana Children — all channeled downward from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

Disaster recovery sub-awards flow from the Federal Emergency Management Agency through Louisiana's Homeland Security & Emergency office and account for a material portion of recent sub-recipient activity. These grants fund school infrastructure repairs, asbestos abatement, roofing remediation, contents recovery, and management costs across multiple Terrebonne Parish school campuses following hurricanes and flooding events, including work following Hurricane Francine and Hurricanes Ida and May. The board has also received adult education and integrated English language and civics education sub-awards flowing through the Louisiana Community & Technical College System.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Department of Education programs. The top five funders account for 94% of awards: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (85 awards), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (48 awards), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (27 awards), the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (27 awards), and the Department of Education Office of Career Technical and Adult Education (4 awards). Over the past five years, award activity has grown substantially — from 5 awards in 2022 to 56 in 2025 — with 33 awards in the current year. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $390.4 million. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term.
