Federal Programs Department
As part of the Harlingen CISD Pyramid for Success, Federal Programs department:
• Embraces the vision that Harlingen CISD will have high performing schools as each of
the components of the Pyramid for Success work together interdependently.
• “The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the
sympathy of the community.” William James, Great Men, Great Thoughts, and the Environment, Atlantic
Monthly, October, 1880.
• Believes that our District exists to serve in the best interests of students.
• Believes that our program exists to support campuses.
• Believes that learning from others as part of the Harlingen Learning Community is vital.
• Supports that all students are expected to learn at high levels and in different ways.
• Assists campuses in meeting the needs of all learners through supplemental programs.
• Values parents as important partners in serving students.
What is the history of federal
funding for education?
•U.S. public school funding was once primarily financed locally but over time it has shifted
toward state and federal funding.
•During the 1920s, less than 1% of public school funding came from the federal government.
•In the 1930s, states began to play a more active role in school funding.
•In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as
a part of the "War on Poverty." ESEA emphasizes equal access to education and establishes
high standards and accountability. The law authorizes federally funded education programs
that are administered by the states.
•In 1966, Congress created the Migrant Education Program to meet the special educational
needs of migrant children.
•By the late 1970s, states had surpassed local governments in school funding.
•In 2002, Congress amended ESEA and reauthorized it as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
•For 2005-2006 the federal role in public school spending was 9.1%.
