Life School announces that the Texas Education Agency has awarded it $260,000 through the 2022-2024 Dyslexia Grant Award Program. Funds from the grant will allow nine staff members to receive further education to serve students. The purpose of the 2022-2024 Dyslexia Grant Award Program is to increase the capacity of local education agencies to serve students with dyslexia appropriately. In addition, the grant program provides funding for high-quality training to educators or specific training programs that result in dyslexia credentials. Specifically, these funds will allow six Life School employees to obtain their diagnostician certification, two staff members to obtain their licensed specialist in school psychology degree, and one staff member to receive their dyslexia teacher certification through Scottish Rite.
