Dear RISE parents/guardians,

House Bill 1605, which passed in the 88th Legislative Sessions, allows parents the right to review tests in person and review instructional materials in person or through a parent portal.  At this time, DLSEC’s RISE Program will provide this access in person.  This access extends to instructional material pertaining to the grade level in which the student is enrolled except for tests that have not yet been administered to students.  At the current time, many of our core curriculum resource vendors do not have a parental access for parents to view online.

 If you would like to review your child’s instructional materials in person, please contact Tessa Sanchez, Multi-District Programs Principal.

Thank you!

The DeWitt-Lavaca Special Education Cooperative will soon dispose of the confidential special education records of students who have not received special education assessment, instruction, or related services since June 2017.  These special education records will be destroyed after November 3, 2023, unless a written request to the contrary is received.  Special education records could be of future importance for purposes of applying for Social Security benefits or other purposes.  Requests to prevent the destruction of certain records should be forwarded in writing by November 3, 2023, to Jason Appelt, Executive Director, DeWitt-Lavaca Special Education Cooperative, PO Box 737, Yoakum, Texas 77995.  These records may include students from Ezzell ISD, Hallettsville ISD, Moulton ISD, Nordheim ISD, Shiner ISD, Sweet Home ISD, Vysehrad ISD, Yoakum ISD, and Yorktown ISD.   

The Special Education Information Center (SPEDTex) provides resources and interactive features for increasing family awareness of disabilities and special education processes, with the goal of improving partnerships between schools and families.
