Schrade is utilizing the Texas Education Agency’s LASO Cycle 5 (2026–2027) grant program to boost student achievement. LASO combines state funding and resources into five key areas: strategic planning, high-quality curriculum materials, recruiting top teachers, extra learning time (such as tutoring and summer programs), and innovative school models. Overall, this initiative ensures Schrade students receive targeted academic support, outstanding instruction, and the tools needed to master grade-level skills.
