TxTIP West Texas: 2004 - 2008

The following are copies of grant application documents and budget spreadsheets created to support the application of three West Texas schools and school districts (Floydada JHS, Post Middle School, and Slaton JHS) in the Texas Immersion Pilot (TxTIP) grant project during 2004 - 2008. Wesley Fryer served as the primary author of these grant documents, working in concert with representatives from each school district as well as individuals at Texas Tech University.
