Recently, the Nederland ISD Board of Trustees passed a resolution calling on the TEA to suspend accountability for the upcoming school year as a result of the gaps in learning from the COVID pandemic and the need to focus on remediating those issues over the next year, The resolution was fairly weak...

We haven’t had a 504 meeting this year for my son who’s going into 6th next year. What can I do, with all that’s going on, to make sure everything is in place for him to be successful in 6th grade.
