The U.S. Department of Education's Office of English Language Acquisition provided a $139,856,554 Formula Grant under the English Language Acquisition State Grants program (CFDA 84.365) to the Texas Education Agency. The purpose of this grant is to help ensure that English learners, including immigrant children and youth, attain English proficiency and meet the same challenging state academic standards as all children. Through this funding, the Texas Education Agency will distribute supplemental resources to local educational agencies across Texas to provide English language instruction, academic enrichment, teacher professional development, curriculum development, parent engagement, and technology-based programs aimed at enhancing educational outcomes for non-native English speakers.

The Texas Education Agency has further distributed over $27 million in sub-awards under this grant to various regional education service centers, school districts, charter schools, and other entities in Texas. These sub-awards will fund a comprehensive range of supplemental services and support for English learners, including English language instruction, teacher training, curriculum development, parent engagement, and academic enrichment programs. Key sub-awardees include Region IV Education Service Center, Region One Education SRV Center, Education Service CTR Region XII, and over 50 local school districts and charter schools throughout the state.
