Background and Discussion:

The Texas Education Agency has awarded additional funds to the Excel Academy Charter School.  Based on federal guidelines, these funds are being re-directed to meet a Title I-Part A purpose that is to provide all children a significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.  The Harris County Juvenile Board has accepted these funds.  The funds are for the period beginning July 1, 2023 and ending September 30, 2024.

 

 

Expected Impact:

These funds allow the school to employ additional teachers to decrease class sizes and provide more individualized instruction.  In addition, funds are used for professional development.

 

 

Alternative Options:

Without these funds, other funds would have to be used to pay for these staff and professional development.
