Fall Nomination Deadline:  Friday, November 21, 2014

Education in Action is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to empowering young people to be informed and active leaders in their communities. 

Latexo ISD has a tuition reimbursement program to encourage parents and their students who may be interested in taking Angelina College classes in high school. The parent pays their students’ Angelina tuition at the start of the semester, and the parent is eligible to get 50% of the tuition cost reimbursed by the district. The reimbursement is only for classes that Latexo ISD has approved and offers its High School students. The refund would occur every semester the student takes Angelina classes through Latexo, and cover every class that they take.

Click below to read the full agreement. This agreement must be signed and returned to Mr. Cravens in order to be enrolled in the reimbursement program.
