Grants

Mission CISD is committed to enhancing the quality of education it provides to its students by seeking various grants. These grants are offered by multiple sources, including state and federal agencies and private foundations. These grants cover a range of areas, including health, safety, and technology integration.

 

One of the most prominent sources of grants for school districts is the Texas Education Agency (TEA). TEA offers grants for various programs, including after-school programs, bilingual education, STEM education, and literacy initiatives. These grants are often targeted toward school districts that serve low-income students or those with a high percentage of English language learners, aiming to close the achievement gap and improve educational outcomes.

 

Apart from TEA, the federal government is another significant source of grants for Texas school districts. The U.S. Department of Education provides a range of grants to support education, including the Title I program, which aims to provide funding to schools with a high percentage of low-income students. The Title I funds can be used for various purposes, such as hiring additional teachers, purchasing instructional materials, and providing professional development for educators.

 

By seeking these grants, Mission CISD aims to provide equitable and high-quality education to all its students, regardless of their background or socio-economic status. The grants enable the District to expand its educational programs and initiatives and provide additional resources that may not be otherwise available. The District remains committed to ensuring that all students receive a high-quality education that prepares them for success in the 21st century.
