Laredo ISD to certify for Technology and Instructional Materials Allotment; $1 million allotment noted
Summary
District staff said the annual TIMA/TEAC certification will allow Laredo ISD to access a roughly $1 million allotment; campus end‑users select materials that must be on the approved list; the certification will be routed to the full board for approval.
Laredo ISD staff presented the annual Technology and Instructional Materials Allotment (TIMA) and TEAC certification process required to access state instructional‑materials funds.
Feliciano Garcia told trustees the district currently has an allotment of approximately $1,000,000 for the two‑year cycle. The certification document requires a district signature (Doctor Rios) and formal board approval at a regular board meeting before the district can expend funds for approved materials.
Garcia emphasized that campuses and end‑users select materials from the state‑approved list; materials must be on the allotment list and aligned to curriculum to be eligible for funding. Staff said the certification packet will return to the full board with required signatures and documentation.
Clarifying details: allotment size cited as approximately $1,000,000; final district expenditures require board approval and selection of approved materials at campus level.
Next steps: district staff will prepare the certification for board approval at the regular board meeting so the district may access the allotment.
