Practical Tip for North East ISD Parents

North East ISD is a large district. In districts of this size, special education departments can sometimes be stretched thin. A practical tip is to communicate with the special education director via email whenever possible. This creates a written record of your communication, which can be helpful if you need to refer back to previous conversations or concerns. Keep your emails concise and focused on specific issues.
