Summary

The board approved a $274,519 carryover for Head Start and authorized a Head Start grant application for the 03/01/2026 program year totaling nearly $5.5 million, with a required local match of more than $1 million.

The Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees approved a $274,519 Head Start carryover request and authorized the district's Head Start grant application for the program year beginning March 1, 2026.

Doctor Rolo explained the district's Head Start program serves 540 children and that the carryover funds will be used to continue services during the current program year. Trustees then voted to approve the carryover request and later approved the full grant application. The grant application totals almost $5.5 million; the district will provide a required local match of a little over $1 million.

Board minutes indicate the district must meet usual compliance elements for federal Head Start funding. Joni Bridal, the Head Start leader noted in the presentation packet, was available to answer detailed questions. Trustees approved both items by recorded voice votes (motions carried 5-0).
