Background and Discussion:

The Texas Education Agency has appropriated additional funds for the Excel Academy Charter School to pay for the cost of instructional materials for students.  The Harris County Juvenile Board has accepted these funds.  These funds are for the period beginning September 1, 2023, and ending August 31, 2025.

 

Expected Impact:

These funds allow the school to purchase textbooks, software, and other instructional materials used in classrooms to serve students. 

 

Alternative Options:

Without these funds, other funds would have to be used to pay for instructional materials.
