Cain announces allocation of education dollars $4.9 million from Education Jobs Fund available to House District 3 Austin — Today, State Representative Erwin Cain (R-Como) announced the allocation of federal education dollars recently made available to Texas. School districts in Delta, Franklin, Hopkins, Lamar, Red River, and Titus Counties will be allocated $4,910,336. The project period for the federal grant is Aug. 10, 2010 - Sep. 30, 2012 and no funds may be expended for central office employees, administrative expenses, or construction. Recently, Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-Austin) attempted to prevent these funds from being allocated to Texas. The "Doggett Amendment" held up $830 million in federal education money. The School Districts in House District 3 will receive education job funds: | Avery ISD - $82,516 | Mount Vernon ISD - $275,240 | | Chapel Hill ISD - $184,015 | North Hopkins ISD - $95,908 | | Chisum ISD - $162,339 | North Lamar ISD - $500,404 | | Clarksville ISD - $172,976 | Paris ISD - $629,611 | | Como-Pickton ISD - $165,334 | Prairiland ISD - $218,113 | | Cooper ISD - $163,572 | Rivercrest ISD - $145,103 | | Cumby ISD - $86,993 | Roxton ISD - $41,959 | | Detroit ISD - $101,320 | Saltillo ISD - $59,573 | | Harts Bluff ISD - $89,775 | Sulphur Bluff ISD - $48,750 | | Miller Grove ISD - $54,212 | Sulphur Springs ISD - $672,653 | | Mount Pleasant ISD - $921,629 | Winfield ISD - $38,341 | "These dollars go a long way toward addressing the funding challenges in education during these tough economic times," said Cain. "I'm relieved that some in Washington weren't allowed to continue holding school districts hostage for partisan purposes." ### | | | | | | | |
