Proposition A provides $15.2M in funding for special education, including students who receive services for dyslexia. Check out this short video to hear from our staff about the current Garland ISD specialized instruction model. Funding cuts could impact the quality of specialized services through increased staff-to-student ratios and fewer instructional resources.
Them: "There's a ntl shortage. You'll never be able to hire 38 SLPs."
SPED Leadership: Watch us work.
We were ecstatic to welcome 75 new and returning SLPs to GISD! @gisdnews #soaringtowardssuccess

Great things happen when departments collaborate! The Department of Special Education and The Department of Guidance & Counseling met Friday to discuss resources available to families in GISD. When ARD Committees are informed, they can offer wrap around services to families.
Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers! May you be celebrated and appreciated today and every tomorrow!
