Texas parents gain new tools to control their teen’s social media use

Why Austin ISD is required to create $4M summer special education programs for students

September 0908:35 AM
 

The Austin school district will have to create a $4 million fund and set up a summer program for students who were denied timely special education evaluations and other services, as part of a settlement agreement with Disability Rights Texas, a nonprofit that sued the district in 2021 over the overdue evaluations.  The school district will also have to clear its backlog of overdue special education evaluations by the end of 2024, grant some students out-of-district evaluations without objection and pay Disability Rights Texas $75,000 in legal fees, according to documents released by the U.S. Western District Court of Texas this week.  The settlement wraps up a case filed at the height of the district’s challenges with a chronic pile of past due requests to evaluate students for special education services as well as complaints about the delivery of those services. The Austin district is under a state-appointed monitor to oversee the district's efforts to eliminate the yearslong backlog and improve the delivery of special education services, as part of a September 2023 agreement with the Texas Education Agency. view article  arw

Dallas ISD and Garland ISD trustees: This is why we released our accountability ratings

As Texas students were returning to classrooms last month, we school board trustees were anxiously awaiting the Texas Education Agency release of A-F accountability ratings.

In order to make the best decisions for the children we serve, it’s important we look clearly and honestly at education outcomes, even — especially — when data reveals we still have work to do. view article  arw

Getting Results: Playground project at Calvert ISD completed after manufacturer steps in

September 0908:15 AM
 

What began as a stalled playground project at Calvert ISD is now complete, thanks to the generosity of a playground equipment manufacturer. The project, funded by federal pandemic relief money and overseen by the Brazos Valley Council on Alcohol and Substance Abuse (BVCASA), came to a halt after the contractor, Gulf Coast Recreation, failed to finish the installation. BVCASA paid $31,705 to Gulf Coast Recreation in March for the purchase and installation of new playground equipment. However, despite the payment and initial assurances, the contractor did not fulfill its obligations, leaving the equipment unassembled and exposed to the elements for months. The delay left the community disappointed and children without a place to play. view article  arw
