Facebook Live Event:

TEA Responds to U.S. Department of Education About 8.5 Cap on Special Ed
What DRTx Has to Say About It 
and What We Plan to Do Next

Monday, November 7, 4:15 to 4:30 p.m.
On Oct. 3, the U.S. Department of Education (US DOE) gave the Texas Education Agency (TEA) one month to either provide evidence that Texas children were not being denied special education services or outline a plan to end the 8.5 percent limit on special education enrollment. 

(For more background on this issue, read " Denied" by Brian Rosenthal, investigative reporter for the Houston Chronicle.)

TEA responded to the US DOE's demand on Nov. 2. DRTx is disappointed in TEA's response, to say the least.  Click here to read our brief statement released to the media earlier this week .

Join us for an overview of TEA's response to the US DOE and a full statement from DRTx on Monday, Nov. 7, from 4:15 to 4:30 p.m. during our Facebook Live Event.
