Removing a Student Temporarily from the Classroom
You may remove your child temporarily from the classroom if an instructional activity in
which your child is scheduled to participate conflicts with your religious or moral beliefs.
The removal cannot be for the purpose of avoiding a test and may not extend for an entire
semester. Further, your child must satisfy grade-level and graduation requirements as
determined by the school and by the Texas Education Agency.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
Parents of Students with Disabilities
Parents of students with learning difficulties or who may need special education services
may request an evaluation for special education at any time.
Options and Requirements for Providing Assistance to Students Who
Have Learning Difficulties or Who Need or May Need Special
Education
If a child is experiencing learning difficulties, the parent may contact the person listed
below to learn about the district’s overall general education referral or screening system
for support services. This system links students to a variety of support options, including
referral for a special education evaluation. Students having difficulty in the regular
classroom should be considered for tutorial, compensatory, and other support services
that are available to all students.
At any time, a parent is entitled to request an evaluation for special education services.
Within a reasonable amount of time, the district must decide if the evaluation is needed.
If evaluation is needed, the parent will be notified and asked to provide consent for the
evaluation. The district must complete the evaluation and the report within 60 calendar
days of the date the district receives the written consent. The district must give a copy of
the report to the parent.
If the district determines that the evaluation is not needed, the district will provide the
parent with a written notice that explains why the child will not be evaluated. This
written notice will include a statement that informs the parent of his or her rights if the
parent disagrees with the district. Additionally, the notice must inform the parent how to
obtain a copy of the Notice of Procedural Safeguards—Rights of Parents of Students
with Disabilities.
The designated person to contact regarding options for a child experiencing learning
difficulties or a referral for evaluation for special education is Bart McMeans at (806)
756-4314.
