Strong Foundations

What are Strong Foundations Grants?

The vision of the Strong Foundations Grant Program is that all Texas students have access to rigorous, grade-level content and instruction every day. All grant activities and deliverables are grounded with this vision in mind.

The Strong Foundations Grant Program (Texas Education Code, 29.0881) was established through House Bill 4545, 87th Texas Legislature, 2021 and offers K–5 Math & Literacy comprehensive Tier 1 instructional supports, including curriculum, instructional leadership, and planning supports. Through the Learning Acceleration Support Opportunities (LASO) application, school systems can apply for two types of Strong Foundations grants:

Provides school systems support to develop a strong instructional framework in math or literacy, provides optional adoption supports in selecting new HQIM, if school systems choose to make a materials switch, and training to support creating systems to effectively manage instruction at the district level.

Provides in-kind support for pre-implementation planning and content- and product-specific professional learning for teachers, coaches, and administrators on effectively implementing HQIM.
