The voucher program prioritizes students who need special education services but private schools are not req'd to accept or provide services for students with disabilities. A voucher award doesn't guarantee admission to a private school. Read more: tinyurl.com/yvrpfpbx #txed
This image features key findings from the initial review of the Texas Center for Voucher Transparency. The post is a graphic with a lightbulb icon, reading: "Did you know? Special education services are not guaranteed at private schools. Some reviewed private schools explicitly state that they do not provide special education services. In other cases, a few schools ask invasive questions or request detailed medical or psychological information during the admissions process."

What a fantastic day of learning! Our SpEd Finance Bootcamp with Cindy Moses was a huge success! SpEd Directors and LEA Business Managers dove into the essentials of special education funding. Thank you to everyone who joined us for Part I of this hands-on, empowering workshop!

New: Judge temporarily blocks Texas’ Ten Commandments requirement in 11 school districts bit.ly/4mMVlz7

Appeals court to hear Texas’ Ten Commandments case next year

The judges opting to hear the cases together marks a significant development in a saga that many believe will reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

Already hearing from our members that parents are requesting special education evaluations for purposes of the ESA. These evals are 100% unfunded when the parent has no intention of enrolling in the public school - $1k-5k each. #txed #txlege

SB 2 would have concerning impact on public education and special education resources. Paperwork, evaluations, meetings and legal challenges likely to increase #txed #txlege @TheArcofTexas @TexasDyslexia @DisRightsTx bit.ly/3RpuOdP

Not only will the public school pay for the special education evaluations, they will pay for the re-evaluation required every three years and for any independent evaluations conducted when the parent disagrees with evaluation results… #txed #txlege

The non guarantee of special education services in voucher proposals is the most sinister aspect. The percentage of campus SPED populations in many campuses is now in the 15-20 percent range.

New rules from HHSC would require Texas teachers and paraprofessionals in the most intensive special education classrooms to stop to timestamp each time they assist a student with certain tasks, like eating or mobility or using the restroom. expressnews.com/politics/art…

Texas tightens rules for special education care after Medicaid funding dispute

The change stems from a 2017 audit that found Texas was improperly coding what counted as medical services, resulting in a $300 million hit for districts.
