LONGVIEW, Texas — Longview ISD was recently awarded a $3 million federal grant helping to support the development of magnet schools.
On Thursday, Sen. John Cornyn announced Longview ISD was awarded with a federal grant of $3,248,283 to support the development of magnet schools, offering students and parents with more options in public education programs.
Currently, the Longview ISD has five magnet schools within the district and is hopeful this grant can help them expand their educational resources.
"Magnet schools empower students from different backgrounds to choose a public education program that works best for them," Cornyn said. “This investment will help more students achieve academic success and strengthen their professional skills through specialized curriculums, and I look forward to seeing the impact it will have on Longview ISD.”
