Federal funding is pouring into South Texas school district coffers.
The U.S. Department of Education is pumping $163 million into the region’s districts, U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Brownsville, said in a press release.
“Every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential,” he said. “This year’s Title I allocations ensure that schools in South Texas can continue to develop and expand programs that provide equal access to educational opportunities and success. Our children are the future — and it is our responsibility to ensure they have the resources they deserve to reach their goals.”
