Title i part a basic grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $737,344,562 to the Texas Education Agency on July 1, 2026, under the Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.010).

The Texas Education Agency distributes Title I formula grant funds to local educational agencies across Texas to improve teaching and learning in high-poverty schools, with particular focus on children failing or most at risk of failing to meet challenging State academic standards. The award supports both targeted assistance programs serving at-risk students and schoolwide programs benefiting all children in eligible schools. The Department of Education allocates funding through statutory formulas based primarily on Census Bureau estimates of children from low-income families in each LEA and State per pupil expenditures.

Performance runs through September 30, 2027, with administrative oversight in Austin, Texas. The Texas Education Agency passes funds to local educational agencies and Indian tribal schools as subgrantees. Non-Federal entities expending $750,000 or more in Federal awards annually are subject to single or program-specific audit under 2 CFR 200, Subpart F. State educational agencies and LEAs must maintain program records for three years. Funds remain available for an additional fiscal year for obligation and expenditure, subject to carryover limitations under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
