New Grant for ‘Virtual School’ Lacks Details
📅 November 16, 2026
The district is presenting an information item about a ‘LASO Grant Application for Virtual School Option.’ The agenda provides no details on the grant’s source, the financial amount, or what curriculum and data-sharing requirements might be attached, which could create future costs for taxpayers.
Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Mineola ISD board. Ask: ‘Regarding Item J.5, what are the terms of the LASO grant? Will taxpayers be on the hook for funding this ‘virtual school’ after the grant money runs out, and what student data will be shared with the grant provider?’
