Common Questions from Mansfield ISD Families
What if I disagree with the ARD committee's decision?
If you disagree with the ARD committee's proposed IEP, you have several options. You can request another ARD meeting to discuss your concerns further. You also have the right to pursue mediation or file a formal complaint with the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
My child's teacher doesn't seem to be implementing the IEP. What can I do?
First, schedule a meeting with your child's teacher to discuss your concerns and ensure they understand the IEP's requirements. If the issue persists, contact the school's special education administrator or your child's diagnostician to address the situation and ensure proper IEP implementation.
How can I get more involved in my child's special education program?
There are many ways to be involved! Attend all ARD meetings, communicate regularly with your child's teachers and therapists, and consider joining the district's special education parent advisory group (if one exists). You can also volunteer in the classroom or participate in school events.
Practical Tip for Mansfield ISD Parents
Mansfield ISD, with around 10,000 students, might have a more streamlined special education administration. In smaller districts, it's common for one special education director to oversee many aspects of the program. Therefore, when communicating with the district regarding your child's needs, it's often best to communicate via email rather than phone. This creates a written record of your communication, which can be helpful if any misunderstandings arise or if you need to refer back to previous conversations.
