District notifies public of ESSA and IDEA-B grant renewals
Summary
Pflugerville ISD notified the public it intends to renew ESSA and IDEA-B federal grants for 2024-25, summarized the title allocations and purposes, and invited public input via the district's federal and state programs webpage.
Dr. Olivares told the board the district will submit required notices to apply for two federal grants: Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) funds, which include Title I-A, II-A, III-A and IV allocations to support low-income students, professional learning and English-learners; and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B (IDEA-B), which funds related services and largely supports personnel (he said about 85% of IDEA-B funds are used for personnel).
Olivares emphasized the federal rule that grant funds must supplement, not supplant state and local funds, outlined how ESSA titles are typically used (parental engagement, staffing, professional learning, language services), and said the public can review and comment on expenditures on the district's federal programs web page. He invited trustee questions; staff said they will provide contact information and follow up where needed.
