School Actions to Ensure Students are on Grade Level and Prepared for their Futures
Now more than ever, we cannot allow this public health crisis to become a generational education crisis.
We now have an unprecedented opportunity to take actions that lead to more great options for students and communities. Texas COVID Learning Acceleration Supports (TCLAS) is a set of targeted supports and additional state and federal funding aligned to the Learning Acceleration Framework.
This is the moment to reimagine schools for the future and create the schools and learning opportunities families want and need.
