Austin ISD is requesting an informal review of the state’s plan to oversee the district’s special education department.
The Austin Independent School District announced Monday it is requesting an informal review of the state’s plan to oversee the district’s special education department. Texas Education Agency officials announced last month that they wanted to install conservators because Austin ISD was failing to meet the needs of students with disabilities.
The evaluations determine whether a student has a disability and if so, which services and supports the district must provide. About 1,800 evaluations and reevaluations were overdue as of late March, according to Austin ISD officials. “We believe that the least disruptive way to build momentum toward sustainable, transformational improvements to special education is to allow time for our comprehensive special education plan, which was developed earlier this year, to fully take hold,” he said in a statement Monday.
The TEA’s plan to appoint a management team to oversee Austin ISD’s special education department has drawn mixed reactions from employees, families and other stakeholders.
