JoAnn cited language from recent due process hearing decisions that she was seeing across multiple hearing decisions-the implementation of the students IEP was not reasonably calculated to allow the student to make progress in light of the students unique circumstances. Teacher Certification & Paraprofessionals Qualifications/Training-Shemica S. Allen discussed the need for required professional development for paraprofessionals as it relates to renewing their instructional aide certificate and the need for instructional aide certificates to have a renewal requirement.

Laurie Rodriquez shared about the opening of Dickinson ISDs Gator Wellness Center to address social/emotional learning and mental health. High School Graduation Requirements/Funding of 18+ Transition Programs-Laurie Rodriguez reported legislative changes would most likely have to be made in Texas Education Code (TEC) Chapter 28 (courses of study), Chapter 29-F (CTE), and Chapter 48 (school finance). Suggested state elective credit might go in TEC Section 28.025 under high school diploma. Committee might also consider proposing an amendment to the State Plan for CTE to reflect recommendations and changes to TEC Section 29.182.
