Kleberg will still be identified as Comprehensive. However, TEA is still determining how to categorize Re-identified campuses like Kleberg as either Identified or Progress to determine campus allocations.
Campus allocations are based on campus enrollment, therefore, preliminary funding allocations show that Kleberg could receive $200,000 if labeled Identified, or $100,000 if labeled Progress.
