This U.S. Department of Education Project Grant award of $2,015,750 to Austin ISD, a local education agency, supports the "Equitable Access to Outdoor Spaces" initiative. The funding is provided under the Innovative Approaches to Literacy; Promise Neighborhoods; Full-Service Community Schools; and Congressionally Directed Spending for Elementary and Secondary Education Community Projects program (CFDA 84.215), which aims to develop high-quality literacy programs and provide educational support services for children and students from birth through 12th grade in high-need areas.
Through this award, Austin ISD will deliver programs and activities focused on improving literacy skills, implementing full-service community school models, and enhancing access to outdoor educational spaces for its diverse student population of over 75,000. The project will run from Aug 16, 2023 through May 31, 2026, enabling Austin ISD to partner with local entities to provide supplemental educational resources, professional development, and support systems to students, educators, and families across its 130 school communities.
