Common Questions About Texas School Districts
How do I transfer special education services between Texas districts?
Use the "30-Day Transfer ARD" process. When moving between Texas districts (e.g., from Katy ISD to Frisco ISD), the new school must provide services comparable to the previous IEP for 30 school days until they either adopt the old IEP or develop a new one.
Are special education laws the same in every Texas district?
Yes, but procedures vary. All Texas districts must follow IDEA and the Texas Education Code. However, local "Operating Guidelines" (such as how to request an evaluation or who attends ARD meetings) differ significantly between districts.
