Vibrant Works USA is recognized for providing employment opportunities for visually impaired individuals in San Antonio.
Later on July 25, Cuellar addressed recent developments in education funding: “After signaling a freeze on federal education funding, the @usedgov has now released key K–12 funds — including support for programs funded by the $3.3M I secured for @unitedisd. In our district, that means STEM, tutoring, and certification support for parents. I’ll keep”.
