Gov. Greg Abbott and First Lady Cecilia Abbott provided laptops to students in the Center Point Independent School District who were affected by the July Fourth floods to support their education during the recovery.
The laptop donation assists students whose families lost their homes and belongings in the disaster. Ensuring educational continuity is a top priority as the community works to rebuild.
“Today, as children return to school, we want [to] make sure they have every tool available to them to help them succeed,” said Gov. Abbott. “We know how essential a laptop is to the education process, and that’s why we are proud to join AT&T and Compudopt to ensure you all have access to your very own laptop.”
AT&T, Compudopt, The Center Point Alliance for Progress, and The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country collaborated on the donation effort.
Abbott emphasized the importance of supporting families who suffered devastating losses during the floods. He commended their resilience while meeting with impacted families to hear their stories.
The laptop distribution adds to extensive state flood recovery efforts spanning multiple counties. These initiatives include extending FEMA registration deadlines, securing federal disaster declarations, and distributing millions in relief funding.
The state has deployed numerous resources since the July floods began. Recovery programs now encompass financial assistance, infrastructure repairs, and emotional support services for affected Texans.
