  • S215g120194 0194
    S215G120194 0194 Introduction: The Houston Independent School District (HISD) is the largest public school system in Texas and the seventh-largest in the nation, covering 301 square miles within the Houston area. With 279 schools, HISD serves a highly ethnically-, culturally-, linguistically-, and economically-diverse population of 203,066 students. The district’s students, regardless of sub-population, are less likely to graduate from high school or graduate on time. (a) Significance – (i) The extent to which the proposed project is likely to build local capacity to provide, improve, or expand services that address the needs of the target population For the proposed project, Literacy Includes Technology (Project LIT), HISD has identified three high-need, high poverty schools that serve high-need students, where the education gap — as exemplified by low graduation and high dropout rates, low socio-economic status, and high poverty — had a demonstrated need to be closed, as shown in Table 1.

  • Houston Chronicle Index to Mexican American Articles, 1901-1979
    AN INDEX OF ITEMS RELATING TO MEXICAN AMERICANS IN HOUSTON AS EXTRACTED FROM THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE This index of the Houston Chronicle was compiled in the Spring and summer semesters of 1986. During that period, the senior author, then a Visiting Scholar in the Mexican American Studies Center at the University of Houston, University Park, was engaged in researching the history of Mexican Americans in Houston, 1900-1980s. Though the research tool includes items extracted for just about every year between 1901 (when the Chronicle was established) and 1970 (the last year searched), its major focus is every fifth year of the Chronicle (1905, 1910, 1915, 1920, and so on). The size of the newspaper's collection (more that 1,600 reels of microfilm) and time restrictions dictated this sampling approach. Notes are incorporated into the text informing readers of specific time period not searched. For the era after 1975, use was made of the Annual Index to the Houston Post in order to find items pertinent to Mexican Americans in Houston.
