Denise Beutel, executive director for grants and federal programs for RISD, said the district received $23.87 million in recurring federal fund- ing in fiscal year 2024-25 against a total general fund expenditure of $403 million, according to the presentation. Beutel said federal grants are given to the Texas Education Agency, which then acts as a pass- through entity to distribute the funds to school districts, which must apply for them. Assistant Superintendent David Pate said trust- ees do not adopt a budget for most federal grants, with the exception being the Child Nutrition Fund. Additionally, the district is reimbursed for many federal grants, meaning it must have a healthy fund balance to pay for expenditures.
