Hallsville ISD provides Special Education services to enhance appropriate educational opportunities for students with disabilities. With high expectations for success, students with disabilities are prepared to become life-long learners and contributing members of the community.

We provide special educational services to students with disabilities as provided in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act, 2004. The District has the duty to identify, refer, evaluate and if the child is eligible, provide a free, appropriate public education to students with disabilities. 

Hallsville ISD Special Education supports parent involvement at all levels. The special education facilitator at each campus can provide information regarding the ARD process, transfers, available resources, and the continuum of services. Parents are encouraged to call for information if questions or concerns arise.

Beginning with the 2017 school year, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) changed the way it reports special education enrollment in school systems. TEA no longer includes a target for a school system’s total number of students in special education as part of state monitoring. For special education representation, TEA only reports on over-representation within certain race, ethnicity, and disability categories, as required by federal law. School systems cannot use this reporting data to delay, deny or prevent a referral for an evaluation for special education services.
