KISD one of nine Texas school districts to earn two-year literacy grant - Killeen ISD is among a handful of Texas school systems that will benefit from a two-year grant to bolster literacy among young students. Called TXRL (Texas Reads, Texas Leads), the grant provides training and resources with the goal for every student to read on grade level by fourth grade. KISD is among 17 Texas school districts that have engaged in professional development and strategic planning over the past school year to reform instruction to better match the science of teaching reading and support greater outcomes for early readers. “This grant will allow us to engage in additional professional development, consult with literacy experts, and host other districts from across the state as a model for systems and practices,” said KISD Executive Director for Curriculum and Instruction Carrie Parker. “It’s a great win for our students and teachers.” Killeen ISD is one of nine Texas districts to receive the two years of funding. The grant-funded reading initiative will benefit all 31 of the district’s elementary schools.
