    Review of Services for Students with Disabilities 
    In the fall of 2019, Keller ISD’s Special Education Department partnered with the consulting firm Stetson & Associates, Inc. to conduct a review of services the District provides for students with disabilities. The study included an examination of both quantitative and qualitative data, and employed multiple methodologies, including, but not limited to comparison studies, five-year trend data, one-on-one interviews, structured classroom observations, focus group meetings, document reviews, faculty surveys, and parent surveys. Keller ISD plans to use these findings to improve services for students with disabilities in Keller ISD.

    The Keller ISD Special Education Department provided an update to the board on the action items developed and progress made in response to the Stetson & Associates, Inc review.
