Practical Tip for Parents

Schertz Cibolo Universal City ISD, with its approximately 10,000 students, is considered a smaller district. In these situations, it's common for one Special Education Director to oversee many aspects of the program. To ensure clear communication and maintain a record of your interactions, consider communicating with the Special Education Director and other key personnel primarily via email. This creates a valuable "paper trail" that can be helpful for future reference and advocacy.
