Walnut Bend Independent School District

Walnut Bend Independent School District is a local government educational entity located in Whitesboro, Texas, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2009. As a U.S. local government and school district, the organization is positioned to receive federal grant awards that support educational initiatives and infrastructure. The district's primary focus appears to be on providing educational services to students in its local community, with a particular emphasis on supporting rural and potentially economically challenged educational environments.

The district has consistently received federal grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, primarily through two key programs: the Small, Rural School Achievement Program and the Impact Aid Program (Title VII, Section 7002). These grants have been awarded annually from 2021 to 2025, demonstrating a sustained commitment to rural educational support. Additionally, Walnut Bend ISD received critical COVID-19 related sub-awards, including CRRSA Act ESSER II funding and American Rescue Plan ESSER III funding, which were designed to help schools safely operate and address pandemic-related educational challenges. Sub-grant awards from the Texas Department of Agriculture and Texas Education Agency further illustrate the district's collaborative approach to securing educational resources. The grants have consistently been structured as formula and project grants, indicating a systematic approach to funding that supports ongoing educational infrastructure, student support, and pandemic response strategies.
