Bonham ISD special-education status flagged as 'needs assistance' in TEA report
Summary
District presenters told the board that the TEA's 2024–25 accountability results show a 'needs assistance' status for special education and outlined campus-level improvement plans and supports.
During the annual report presentation, district staff told trustees the Texas Education Agency assigned the district a "needs assistance" determination for special education for 2024–25 and said the district is implementing targeted improvement strategies.
Presenters noted the district's special services population rose from 19.6% to 21.8% and said campus-level improvement plans and documented supports will be posted online. The board asked clarifying questions about the contributors to that increase and were told the rise is tied to identification and service changes; staff described ongoing steps to strengthen special-education processes.
