Roma ISD’s Delia G. Garcia Elementary School hosted a special event where U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar announced $14,477,723 in federal funding for Starr County school districts for free or reduced cost meals for students. “These federal dollars will provide free, quality, and nutritious meals for our students,” said Rep.

County. In Congress, I will continue to fight to ensure our students have the resources they need to succeed. I would like to thank Starr County School district Superintendents, food service workers, and educators for their continued commitment to our students’ success.” Roma ISD received a total of $5,922,078, Rio Grande City Grulla ISD received a total of $8,366,325, and San Isidro ISD received a total of $189,320. This funding ensures that each student in Roma ISD, Rio Grande City Grulla ISD, and San

Isidro ISD can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner at no cost. The federal funding comes from USDA’s National School Breakfast Program (SBP) and National School Lunch Program (NSLP). The goal is to provide adequate food to safeguard the health and well-being of our school children while addressing food insecurities for low-income families and their children. These programs aim to promote good eating habits by providing nutritionally balanced, free or reduced-cost breakfast and lunch for students to enjoy.

The RGCGISD has been awarded one of only nine JET (Jobs & Education for Texas) grants! This grant will enable the Career & Technical Education (CTE) department to acquire industry-standard equipment for the welding dual enrollment classes at Grulla High School. Interim Superintendent Mrs. Elsa V. Morris accepted the check from the Texas Workforce Commission on behalf of the district. She expressed her gratitude to Mrs. Adelina G.

Villarreal, CTE Director, for her outstanding work in securing this grant and her unwavering advocacy for the students. Mrs. Morris continues to champion CTE courses and programs that equip the students with the skills, licenses, certifications, and post-secondary degrees needed for success in high-demand careers. On behalf of the Rio Grande City Grulla ISD, we’re excited about the opportunities this grant will create for our students!

Congratulations to the 2024-2025 SIISD FFA Officers!
