Local Public Meeting Aimed at Improving Special Education in Texas

WACO, TEXAS--Education Service Center (ESC) Region 12 will host a public input and information meeting on behalf of the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for parents, teachers, administrators, and others involved in special education, to gather input on topics related to special education in Texas. The meeting will be held from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m., Tuesday, April 15 at ESC Region 12 at 2101 W. Loop 340 in Waco.

The purpose of the meeting is to obtain feedback on topics aligned with the state performance plan and gather needs assessment data at the regional and state levels. During the meeting, attendees will have the opportunity to provide input on the following questions:

  • What needs to be included in an ARD Committee’s discussion regarding instructional placement choice for a student with disabilities?
  • What factors contribute to disciplinary actions for students with disabilities? How can parents and schools work together to address these factors?
  • What practices are in place to ensure that struggling students (non-special education) are receiving appropriate intervention strategies?

The meeting is free and open to anyone interested in improving special education services for children with disabilities.

For more information, contact ESC Region 12 Director of Special Education Services Sharon Fredriksson at 254.297.1158 or sfredriksson@esc12.net. Registration is available onsite as well as online at www.esc12.net.
