Webb, Shelby From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Porter, Justin Wednesday, May 16, 2018 10:23 AM Region4 GingerGates; Pearcy, Tammy lhall@esc4.net RE: support for districts Hi Ginger, We are working on some guidance for districts that will come from TEA. The first thing we’re planning to put out is a timeline for when they can expect the various pieces to come out. If I were you, I’d hang tight for just a bit so that we’re not duplicating efforts. I’ll let you know when we get something more firm together. Thanks! J Justin Porter Ed.D.

We are working with Janet Horton to develop documents to help our LEAs with implementation of the Strategic Plan…specifically child find and compensatory services. We would love for TEA to review it to ensure that it is in alignment with the intent and legal mandate of the Strategic Plan. We hope to have the documents complete by the end of this month. Is there a way that we can request such a review? We, of course, will share the resources with the other ESCs. Thank you for your support! Ginger E.
