Federal Programs
The Federal Programs Department works hand-in-hand with all stakeholders—the Superintendent, administrators, staff, parents, and the broader community—to ensure our federal resources are used to empower every student and educator. Our central mission is to strategically allocate these funds to elevate educational quality, strengthen the skills of our teachers and leaders, and deepen parental involvement. We take great care in managing all compliance and regulatory requirements, ensuring the district maintains its integrity and can consistently secure the funding necessary for our shared vision.
