CCISD presenter: Title III funds flow via TEA and must supplement district services

Clear Creek ISD staff explained how Title III funds reach campuses and what they are intended to pay for. The presenter said the federal funds are routed through state agencies before reaching CCISD and are intended to add services for English learners and immigrant youth rather than replace existing district-funded programs.

The presenter stated plainly: “पैसा US department of education से आता है Texas Education Agency के ज़रिए गुजरता है और CCISD तक पहुँचता है.” He added that “Title 3 का पैसा ... यह उसकी जगह नहीं ले सकता,” underscoring the supplement-not-supplant principle. The presenter described two Title III streams — for English-learners and for immigrant children and youth — and said districts receive immigrant funds when there is an increase in the count of eligible students.

Families were told that labels and counts are used solely for planning and applying for appropriate federal grants; the presenter emphasized that schools do not ask or report immigration or citizenship status.
