González / Staff Photographer) This is a developing story that will be frequently updated. About $11.2 billion will soon make its way to Texas schools to help students recover from the pandemic after state leaders announced the partial release of federal education dollars on Wednesday. The state will distribute the funds for use over the next three years through grants administered by the Texas Education Agency. The money is part of a larger package of federal funds totaling close to $18 billion that Congress approved late last year and this spring. Texas was one of the few states that had yet to make plans to distribute most of the federal aid set aside for educators and students.
