As a pass-through entity, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) awards federal grant funds to eligible subrecipients, including local educational agencies (school districts and open-enrollment charter schools LEAs). The responsibilities of pass-through entities are given in Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 200.332, which requires TEA to “evaluate each subrecipient’s risk of noncompliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward for purposes of determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring.”
To comply with this requirement, TEA’s Federal Fiscal Monitoring Division conducts an annual federal fiscal risk assessment of all subrecipients, including LEAs, to determine their potential risk of noncompliance. The specific criteria used in the risk assessment are published on the division’s web page. Based upon the outcome of the risk assessment, subrecipients are assigned a risk level of low, medium, or high.

Yes, require vaccinations, or frequent testing.
Yes, require masks indoors.
Yes to the public health measures.
But make it so that it is so easy to get a vaccine that people who work 3 jobs or are homebound or … are reached as easy as the rest of us. We’re not there yet.
Saying (as too many are doing now that Macron and some GQP governors are doing it) “it’s all the non-vaccinated’s fault” is buying into a destructive frame. Too many powerful people (with agendas like making sure Democrats fail; increasing chaos; etc.) are still pushing the nonsense. They need to feel a backlash and repercussions or they’re going to keep doing it. Abandoning normal people who have been lied to isn’t good for us.
