Federal Programs
  • The Federal Programs Department oversees the administration of various federally and state-funded initiatives. In most cases, funding is provided to the Local Educational Agency (LEA) to enhance and supplement existing activities and programs within Tarrant City Schools. This support ensures that the district can better meet the needs of its students and communities.
