Congressman Gonzalez Announces Over $160 Million in Preliminary Title I Funding for South Texas Schools
WASHINGTON, D.C.– Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) announced that school districts in the 34th Congressional District of Texas are expected to receive a total of $163,824,115 in Fiscal Year (FY24) Title I formula funds. The final allocation totals will be released by the U.S. Department of Education in June of 2024.
“Public education is the great equalizer of societies as it gives all children the same opportunity to excel,” said Congressman Gonzalez. “Title I funding is crucial to achieving this. Every year, millions of dollars are allocated to public school districts across South Texas so that they can empower disadvantaged students with the proper tools and resources to meet their educational goals. We must continue to level the field for all our students, regardless of their background or family’s income, so that each of them has the same chance to succeed in life.”
