2021 Dyslexia Handbook

AC 74.28 (Students with Dyslexia and Related Disorders) has a required component regarding information that must be provided to parents about dyslexia and related disorders. This requirement is that LEAs and open-enrollment charter schools provide parents of students enrolled in the district or school with specific information about dyslexia and related disorders. I have included that wording below for your convenience. To assist LEAs and open-enrollment charter schools with compliance of TAC 74.28 (f), the TEA has created a form that is now posted on the TEA website. This form can be found TEA Resources in this link and is under Dyslexia Resources on the TEA website. I have also attached a copy of this form to this email. I have reviewed the form and it does include all seven required components if you choose to utilize it. According to TEA, as I have asked them this myself, providing this information to parents through a posting on your district's website is an option. I have already forwarded this information to your special education directors.

TAC 74.28 (f)

(f) Each school district and open-enrollment charter school shall provide to parents of students enrolled in the district or school information on:

(1) characteristics of dyslexia and related disorders;

(2) evaluation and identification of dyslexia and related disorders;

(3) effective instructional strategies for teaching students with dyslexia and related disorders;

(4) qualifications of and contact information for PDIs at each campus or school;

(5) instructional accommodations and modifications;

(6) the steps in the special education process, as described in the form developed by the Texas Education Agency to comply with TEC, §29.0031(a)(1); and

(7) how to request a copy and access the electronic version of the handbook referenced in subsection (c) of this section.

Texas Education Code requires an annual fitness assessment for all students in grades three through twelve enrolled in physical education or a physical education substitute course/activity. School districts submit the results to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) each school year. FITNESSGRAM® is the assessment tool used in Texas school districts. FITNESSGRAM® is a fitness assessment developed by The Cooper Institute. The assessment includes health-related physical fitness tests that assess aerobic capacity; muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility; and body composition. Scores from the different assessments are compared to Healthy Fitness Zone® standards to determine students' overall physical fitness and suggest areas for improvement when appropriate. The standards are criterion-referenced standards based on levels of fitness needed for good health. A parent/guardian with a student in grades three through twelve enrolled in physical education or an equivalent physical education course/activity may submit a written request for a child’s physical fitness assessment results at the end of the school year. The request should be submitted to the building principal.
