Brackett ISD applied for TEA Strong Foundations Planning and Technology Lending grants
Summary
District administrators told the board they submitted competitive TEA grant applications for Strong Foundations Planning (awards typically $120,000–$300,000) and a Technology Lending Grant (awards up to $225,000) to support instructional frameworks and the 1:1 technology lending program.
The administration reported it submitted two competitive applications to the Texas Education Agency: a Strong Foundations Planning (SFP) application intended to support instructional framework and professional learning, and a Technology Lending Grant to support devices and digital materials for student home use. Speaker 4 said the TEA program would award between 100 and 200 LEAs for the SFP pool and that the estimated funding available across applicants is about $24 million; individual awards could range from $120,000 to $300,000. For the Technology Lending Grant, Speaker 4 said the program will award only 50 to 100 districts and a district could receive up to $225,000.
Applications remain open through Dec. 13, with award notifications expected in February, the superintendent reported. The administration characterized both applications as aligned with existing district priorities, including instructional resources and stipends for instructional coaches.
