In October 2024, TEA will continue offering a streamlined, consolidated grant application process, focusing on a select group of bundled grant programs designed to accelerate academic growth. The Learning Acceleration Support Opportunities (LASO) initiative represents the next phase of this universal, consolidated application cycle, strategically combining funding opportunities that drive ongoing learning acceleration and innovative educational practices. 

LASO Cycle 3 program grants are focused on three of the five learning acceleration strategies: Curriculum & Instruction, More Time and Innovative School Models.
