More than $653,000 in state education grants received by Devine ISD is in the process of being implemented with a focus on long-term academic improvement, Superintendent Todd Grandjean reported to the school board Monday night.
The announcement about the Texas Education Agency Learning Acceleration Support Opportunities grant, also known as LASO, came during Grandjean’s monthly report to the board.
“As the district concludes our end-of-year assessments, including our STARR (2025 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) testing, overall student performance continues to reflect the dedication and hard work of our teachers, support staff and our administrators,” Grandjean said.
LASO is a single, consolidated application that combines grants, allotments and in-kind support issued through the TEA. More than 600 school districts applied during the most recent cycle of LASO funding.
