Student Listing for 2022–23 Local Remote Learning ADA Funding Eligibility Now Available

The Student Listing for 2022–23 Local Remote Learning ADA Funding Eligibility in the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) Accountability application is intended to help LEAs determine funding eligibility for students who may participate in a local remote learning program. The responsibility for making the final determination of a student’s eligibility for funding lies with the LEA. Attendance data is auditable.

Due to data limitations, the student listing provides enrollment information based on the School Year 2022–23 Tracking Reporting, 2021–22 STAAR performance outcomes, and 2021–22 attendance. TEA does not have access to course grade data, unexcused absence counts, or any local beginning of year (BOY) assessment results, so LEAs can use the list provided by TEA as a starting point but must independently determine and document student eligibility for remote ADA.

The RFA is available on the TEA Grant Opportunities page. An open-enrollment charter school campus designated by the commissioner of education, for the 2022–2023, 2023-2024, or 2024-2025 school year, as a high-quality campus pursuant to the 19 TAC, Chapter 100, Subchapter AA §§100.1033(b)(9) and 100.1033(b)(13). Open-enrollment charter schools submitting an expansion amendment request and corresponding application for high-quality campus designation for the 2023-2024 or 2024-2025 school year by March 1, 2023, are considered eligible to apply for the grant. However, the commissioner must approve the expansion amendment request and designate the campus as a high-quality campus prior to the charter receiving grant funding, if awarded.
