Stimulus Funding
Like school districts across Texas and the United States,
Northside ISD is the recipient education funding through
the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
This web site shows taxpayers and community members a
detailed spending plan so that they can see how that
money is being used in Northside ISD.
To date, NISD has received about $29 million in stimulus funding
that can be spent only in two areas.
Title
I funding must be used at schools that are classified as Title
I, which means a majority of students enrolled meet the federal
requirements for free or reduced lunch.
Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) funding is earmarked for
special education students.
In addition, the District has received $369,604 in
Title
II Part D funding which can be used to enhance education
