Our latest episode of Intersect Ed is out now (link in our bio): www.raiseyourhandtexas.org/podcast/special-education-tx-funding/
This episode discusses an often misunderstood topic: funding special education in Texas public schools. Our schools provide special education services to the almost 800,000 students with disabilities in the state. This episode will explore why it costs so much to do it right and the $2 Billion dollar gap that Texas school districts are covering after they allocate the funds received from the state and federal government to ensure special education students receive the services they need.
Our Intersect Ed host Morgan Smith is joined by Steven Aleman, Senior Policy Specialist at @disabilityrightstex ; Amanda Fuentes, Special Education Team Lead at Cibolo Valley Elementary School in @scucisd ; and Paige Meloni, Superintendent at Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD (SCUC ISD).
