The Tom Lea Institute seeks funding to adapt, create bilingual curricula and digitize primary source images and art for curricula. Eighty-four percent of students in the borderland are Title I and come from Spanish-speaking homes. The regional history, social studies, art and literacy curricula will be translated into Spanish and adapted for distance learning, thus greatly expanding its usefulness. Using the art and writings of Tom Lea and José Cisneros, students learn regional history and ELR based on their own heritage. The digital library will be expanded by 500 images, including art, writings, and photos for use with curricula.
