TEA is providing online accounts of $1,500 to parents of eligible students with significant and complex disabilities who have been impacted by COVID-19 school closures.
Partners Resource Network and Region 10 are collaborating on a series of Facebook Lives to share quick at-home learning tips to support parents as they help their children with disabilities transition to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During this time, TEA will not be receiving visitors and, as a result, will not be able to accept hand delivery of requests for special education mediation. In addition, while requests may still be filed by mail, disruptions in the delivery of agency mail may occur due to possible closures in the mail room and distribution center. TEA, instead, recommends that parties consider using other available filing methods.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has implemented a mandatory telework policy for agency employees beginning Tuesday, March 17. During this time, TEA will not be receiving visitors and, as a result, will not be able to accept hand delivery of special education due process hearing requests. In addition, while requests may still be filed by mail, disruptions in the delivery of agency mail may occur due to possible closures in the mail room and distribution center. TEA, instead, recommends that parties consider using other available filing methods.
Because of the COVID 19 pandemic, Texas Education Agency (TEA) employees are working from home starting on Tuesday, March 17, 2020. TEA will not be receiving visitors. This means that TEA cannot accept hand delivery of special education complaints or reconsideration requests.
At Partners Resource Network, our primary concern is on protecting the well-being of members of our community and educating others on how they can be strong allies to people with disabilities through the COVID-19 outbreak.
