Student support and academic enrichment grants

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) received a $136.3 million Formula Grant under the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Program (CFDA 84.424) from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, effective July 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This funding supports three primary service categories: expanding student access to well-rounded education, improving school conditions for student learning, and enhancing technology utilization to advance academic achievement and digital literacy. TEA distributes these federal funds through sub-awards to local educational agencies, school districts, charter schools, education service centers, and nonprofit organizations throughout Texas to deliver comprehensive educational services aligned with these program objectives.

The sub-awards document demonstrates TEA's broad distribution of Title IV, Part A funding across numerous school districts and regional education service centers. Sub-awardees including Luling ISD, Sabinal ISD, Giddings ISD, and 30+ education service centers use funding to provide professional development, technical assistance, mental and behavioral health capacity building, and direct student services focused on well-rounded education and improved learning environments. Services delivered include academic enrichment programs, instructional leadership training, mental health support initiatives, technology infrastructure improvements, and comprehensive technical assistance to small and rural school districts to increase educational capacity and improve student outcomes statewide.
