001This meeting is being recorded. both the public and um our new and returning members. Um And with that, we have a lot to do today because um we'll get to have introductions for our members um and make sure we all get to know each other because we have a lot to do on our um legislative report. Um Part of today is that our current subcommittees will give updates for our new members so that um they can think about selecting which subcommittee um they would like to join because um our legislative report uh will be due before we know it and uh the uh current the former members know that uh we could be using some help. So um we would appreciate it if our new members would um join um wholeheartedly let's say. >> [clears
002throat] >> Um So um I would like to refer to our agenda in order to remind everyone new and former members included of our duties.

Uh, my day job, I am a uh, human factors and user experience researcher at AT&T in Austin. Okay. Um, thank you, Aaron, and we appreciate all that you do as vice chair as well. Um Is there anyone else who needs to introduce themselves as current
010members? Sure, Amy. Uh, this is Kevin Markel. I'm a a program specialist with the Texas Workforce Commission with the uh, vocational rehab division. And I've been um with this agency for about 22 years, uh, all of which has been uh, in the field of of transition work. So, I really have a passion and for um you know, working and supporting uh, students with disabilities. So, uh really enjoyed being a part of this advisory group as well. We see your um wish to register for public com- comments. Don't we have Nori on the line? Yes. Oh. This is your own one. Um, thank you. Um, and Laurie, would you like to introduce yourself as well?

011what brings me to this committee is I have a special needs daughter who is a graduate of the Texas special needs education and she's she's done very very well for herself. We had a really good um, upbringing within the system and I know that uh, that she has taught me more than anything could ever teach me. So I'm really glad to be able to participate with this committee. Thank you all for having me. And thank you for your continuing service. Uh, we appreciate it. My pleasure. Um, Amy, do you think we can have a list of all the members because I know there were switches that we will know who the current members are. Yes. Um, I will I will see if we can um, organize even some bios for us too because I think
012that would be helpful. Um, I know it's always good to get to know each other as individuals, but uh, making sure we know who we can turn to for certain areas of expertise would be great. And uh, new members, uh, don't be nervous to speak up just because cuz you're we need your ideas. Um and your critiques if there's something that we've written before um that [clears throat] needs some tweaking. Um So, we have some TEA follow-ups on some questions we had from our last meetings and then we'll have some updates on rule making. Um So, are we ready for that? Um Laura? Yes. >> Are the right people on already to uh and are they ready to give us their presentations? Yes. So, uh a little bit of um I guess background is that
013there was a request um for some information on dyslexia. And so, I did reach out to our program staff and uh we are not um able to present necessarily at this meeting, but it is something that we is in the works for the next meeting. So, I know we've kind of emailed about that a little bit. Um however, I do have some rule making updates. We are very busy um on our side. So, I guess first of all, uh to the new members, I guess I'll introduce myself, too. So, I am uh Laura Briones. I am the special populations policy director uh in the office of special populations and student supports here at TEA. Uh I've been in education for over 20 years. All the things, teacher, principal, instructional coach, all of the things. Uh
014been at TEA for about 3 years and love it. Um I love being a part of this committee with y'all and working alongside y'all and doing everything that we can possible for all of the students and special populations across Texas. So with that said, we have several rules that are um We have some that are about to become adopted. We have some that just closed their public comment period. We have some in public comment right now. It'll be a busy summer making sure that we get all the communication out to our LEAs and to ESCs to make sure that everybody's supported and aware of the rule changes that will be effective at the beginning of the school year and then ongoing throughout the school year as well. Um So I have links and I can
015share this with y'all, but I have linked in here the page that that goes to our the Commissioner of Education rules that you can see anytime that the rules are posted and are in the public comment period, it'll be on that page. Right now uh uh one of the rules we have 89 1053 which is the procedures for use of restraints and time out. That public comment window opened recently. So that is out for public comment right now. So when you go to that link, um you're able to submit public comment. I will say that the CAC as some of the duties as you know as a governing board making recommendations for T on behalf of TEA for you know, in your legislative reports for rule making, you can submit a comment as a committee
016and you can also submit a comment as an individual as yourself. So just for the new members, that's some information for you as these rules become publicly available for comment. We We several rules 89 1050, 1055, and 1096 uh that have to do with our IEPs. And then the students placed by their parents in private schools or facilities. Each of those rules just closed the the public comment period for that just closed on the 11th. Each of those have pretty substantial proposed amendments in there. We did receive several public comments on those rules. So, we are in the midst of going through all of those comments, getting with staff, and going through the responses and working on the adoption packets for that. But, that window just closed this week. So, that's in process as we
017speak. But, like I said, we did get a lot of comments for that. So, that's good. Also, a rule that closed on the 11th is 103 1209, which is mandatory drills. That's actually a rule that's going through our office of school safety and security. But, it is something that we have worked in conjunction alongside that office with because that is the rule that says [clears throat] that we take into consideration students with IEPs and 504 plans. That we make sure that those accommodations, if they if a student needs accommodations in the event of an emergency or and also including school drills, that they those accommodations are considered and that they also are going to the school safety and uh security committee at the district level. So, that is a that is a rule that also
018just closed public comment this week. There were some public comments submitted for that as well. So, that'll also start going through the adoption phase, too. The 2026 IDEA Part B state application window also just closed as of May 1st. That There was a public comment window open for that. That application is due on the that there is a public comment window the feds to OSAP. Uh, and uh, it is it is posted on the TEA website. So, if you'd like to review that, uh, with the financial information and the breakdown, that is also publicly available on our website right now. And I can get you the link for that. Otherwise, uh, we have a rule rule packet, um, that has to that includes 89 1150, 1175, and 1195, um, that mainly deal with the complaint
019process and dispute resolution. Uh, those rules will become effective on uh, June 21st. So, those will be posted to the Texas Register and then those were actually in the adoption phase and will become effective here in June. And then the other big thing is our special education funding. So, there has been a lot of communication going out about that. I know that there's a lot of questions coming from LEAs and from ESCs about that. Um, also from parents and everybody across the state. And so, we have there has been a TAA that has gone out. There is a um, web page on Texas Fed Support dedicated to this topic with tons of information, tons of resources. Um, we have a whole team that is uh, dedicated to this. And so, there will be ongoing communication,
020uh, throughout the summer, uh, as um, all of that is getting rolled out. We also have rules. We have several rules, uh, um, that are going to be proposed and open for public comment on May 15th. So, here in tomorrow. Um, there are several rules in that rule package that have to do with special education funding and the new, um, uh, service intensity, uh, model. And so, in the framework for that and so, I would just pay attention make sure that you have the link like I referenced before on the commissioner rulemaking page for the proposed rules because we are anticipating a lot of public comments based on those rules. We also have instituted weekly office hours so every Thursday we're having a zoom office hours where LEAs and ESCs can pop on and ask
021their questions because this is a learning process. This is new for everybody and so we're all going to kind of figure it out as the school year rolls along this year but we're trying to be as clear in our guidance as we possibly can and so um like I said I would just I would just check the Texas sped support web page I would go to the office hours if you have questions but we're trying to make sure that we have the technical assistance uh for that topic for the sped funding. And otherwise that's it for right now. It's a lot. Yeah. We We appreciate how busy you are and how dedicated you are to this committee. Thank you. And we hope to make the time you spend with us worth it. Um So did
022we cover the commissioner education rules sufficiently? And does anybody have any questions for Laura based on um the whirlwind that she just took us through? >> uh based on um consensus. Um I think we may be ready for public comments. Um Registered, we have Steven Allman of Disability Rights Texas. Steven, are you ready to um grace us with your information? Good morning. Can you hear me? Yes, we can hear you. Great. Good morning, everyone. My name is Steven Allman. I'm with an organization known as Disability Rights Texas. Disability Rights Texas is a uh Texas nonprofit to protecting and advancing the legal rights of people with disabilities, including school children with disabilities. Um we do advocate on a case-by-case basis across the state and many school districts and charter schools. Just to be clear, I'm not
023going to be showing up at an ARD meeting. Um my responsibility of DRTX is to um help with our more systemic advocacy at the legislature and before state agencies, including TEA. Um so, I'm here to just offer a couple of comments in my brief time. One, I just wanted to follow up on the briefing you had about rule making. Disability Rights Texas does monitor those rule makings, has recently submitted several comments. We shared those with the CAC through your CAC email address, just so that you're aware of of what we're highlighting of of concerns or compliments. Um I will point out that this upcoming rule making that is still open on restraint is a high priority for Disability Rights Texas. I will also add uh for your awareness that there will be two virtual public
024comment hearings held by TEA. Again, they'll be online rule making hearings by TEA at the end of this month, I believe on Thursday the 28th and and Friday the 29th, but uh Laura can confirm that. I would encourage you to um at least at the very least if you have the time to monitor those hearings just so you could get a sense of public input as you may consider your own input as a group or individually on that rule making. But this is a very important topic to us about trying to minimize incidents of restraint um in public schools and making sure that they're as safest possible for students and of course but as importantly for staff. Along those lines, I want to speak to your legislative report. One of the things that we would
025like to do is continue to emphasize avoidance of restraint incidents. By that meaning, what can we do to better equip schools and teachers and other staff paraprofessionals to not be in a put into a position if possible of having to restrain a student with a child with a disability. Among the many possibilities and solutions we want to focus on is something known as crisis prevention and intervention. Um CPI uh skills and training is very important. There are many vendors that provide those services. Uh so I'm just talking generically about that, not a specific company. Uh but in general, that skill set we believe needs to be better uh supported and developed among staff uh so that again, teachers and staff in those situations with those students with disabilities that might be posing behavioral challenges uh
026uh truly only use restraint as a last possible recourse. Along those lines, we would love to see the CAC in this legislative report continue to support the skill development in that area, especially up the pipeline, if you will, into educator preparation programs. EPPs is the as a term we use here in Texas for programs, whether that includes a college of education or a private service where teachers are being prepared to enter our classrooms in Texas. We believe it's very important that we not just talk about staff training in districts among current staff, but our future workforce gets exposure and training in the CPI as one of those high priority areas to again avoid incidents of restraint and the dangers of restraint across the board. So, we would like to see your report support incorporating CPI
027training, de-escalation training into EPP core requirements. Um I I believe I'm probably out of time. I appreciate your attention in so much stuff. Um your work is important. Um and and I'm available as a resource to this committee. Uh and uh again, thank you for your service today. Thank you for your comments. Even um in regards to the legislative report um suggestions that you made, can you send those to Laura in writing, please? Yes, we'd be happy to follow up with all members of the committee. We'll use the CIC email address, as well as directly to you, Laura, as your staff contact. >> Thank you. Are there any other questions regarding anything that we heard from Steven in his public comments? In that case, do we have subcommittee reports? And or do our subcommittee chairs
028want to introduce their subcommittees for our new members? Amy, some of our committee chairs are no longer. Right. So, I think what we might need to do is um discuss subject areas and redo our subcommittees. Um >> [clears throat] >> which, you know, I understand might be uh >> [clears throat] >> a little complicated, but I think we can pull it off. Um Amy, it might be worthwhile going through the last um Yeah. biannual report uh just a high-level um and that might give folks a little bit of grounding in >> Well, some of the work we've already done. >> easiest way to do that would be look at the table of contents. We can start there. >> a great idea, yeah. Um So, I will go to the TEA website and find it. I
029just put in the chat the CAC website, and then there's a link on the right-hand side to that report when you click on it. >> Thank you, Laura. By the way, also for new members, this is also a good way um to um one of those links to the right next to the annual report is a link to our past meetings, which have recordings and meeting minutes. Um so, if you want to um spend some time there um between now and our next meeting, that might be a good opportunity to um kind of catch up on some things we've been doing. >> We had finance, health and safety, staffing, behavior, digital literacy, and accessible accessibility. Dyslexia and justice. So. And this is question is not limited to new members. Are there any topics that anyone
030feels like we missed in the last four? Or that have come up as emerging categories since our last report? And or does anyone have feelings they have expertise in any of these existing categories that they would like to either remain on or join? Or an interest I I was doing staffing and I like to stay in it. I think it's important. Okay. And I know that um Tara's not on Ceballos, but she was really adamant about dyslexia as chair. Right. Um So, I think we should definitely keep those two. Um Janey, are you open to um leading the staffing group or you Yeah, no, no, I that's like the only one that I would lead, the staffing group group. I've already continued doing research on the staffing. Okay. And I mean I work in a
031school district and believe me, we need it. And the other one is that I'm staying in the dyslexia. But not as a chair. Tara's going to believe this as a chair and I'll be Okay. Okay, sounds good. Um And you remember speak up if there's any um We subcommittees you would like I can um probably have some details for justice >> [clears throat] >> that committee. Let me see if I can find the minutes when we did the subcommittees already and then we can do the Yeah. Oh my god, the updates. Okay. Yeah. It's on the committee uh a mini committee meeting uh for October 15th, 2025. I can share it um Yeah, you want to share screen? I might have to unshare [clears throat] mine. Okay, I'll share the entire screen. I don't know
032how to do anything else. It didn't let me. I'm pulling it up right now. I can share it. Okay, perfect. It's on the October 15th, 2025. Yes, perfect. Mhm. And that way we can see who's still here. I know Adrian's out, so Yeah. So, so we need a new share for for a lot of these. Mhm. So, when we moving Adrian from anywhere that he was at? Right. And who else was um A- Is April still here? No. April's gone? I can't remember. Nora, is April still a member? Oh. I'm pulling the list right now. Okay, thank you. Yes, she's still a member. Okay. >> She's on here. Yeah, she's probably going to resign at some point, but she has not officially resigned. And what about Marisa? Yes, still a member. Diane, no longer, right?
033Um no. And no Adrian, right? Correct. >> I took Adrian out. What about Agatha? Agatha resigned. Huh? She resigned? Yes. And Joanne Wolford? Yes, she I was just looking, she resigned, but that should be it. Everybody else remains. Joanne resigned? Yes, she did. Okay. >> Susan is on too, right? Or she's out? No. Yes, Susan Nichols? Yes. Okay. Claudia, April. So, we have 12 members in total. Yes. Okay. Currently. Unless we have more new members that aren't here today. So, um is there anyone else that wants to change subcommittees that they weren't already on? Or new members want to jump in in on any of these subcommittees? Amy, I can give a brief overview of um the digital literacy and accessibility group. >> Right. So Um that mostly focuses on uh supporting uh not only
034students, but um the special education and mainstream education teachers to make sure that there is both accessible technology and and instructional content as well as assistive technology training and resources for um the student with disabilities and and their network. Uh so that's our current um recommendations focus on that generally and um certainly would love anybody with um some on-the-ground experience or um uh a strong interest in that area um to join with uh Kevin and Claudia and me. And Amy, this this Kevin. I I'd like to continue with uh with Aaron and Claudia on that digital digital literacy group and uh also like to continue on justice if if that's agreeable. And um if it's agreeable I'd like to be added to dyslexia. Sure. Welcome aboard, Kevin. I It's a big topic, yeah. Yeah. Amy,
035I would not mind um finance, health and safety, or behavior. Or and behavior. Okay, so do you want to be the lead on behavior? I can. You can Awesome. Thank you Rebecca right? Yes, ma'am. And which Which one was the other one? I'm sorry Rebecca. Uh finance and health and safety. Okay, hold on Amy. Health and safety. Do you want to be the lead in that one, too? Or Amy, do you want to be the lead in that one? Um either way, um I'm willing to take it for now until you decide if you feel comfortable with two. Okay. Okay. Okay, then I'm just going to keep you actually on and then you guys decide. That'll work. You can guide me Amy. Okay, so you're health and safety and um justice only, right? She said
036finance too, right? Who's doing finance? I'm sorry, I can't hear. It's really low. Uh I said I could do finances as well. Okay, finance. Okay, hold on. Did I do Is it here? Here we need to do for Maddie. Funding, is that the same thing as finance? Yeah. Okay. Um So do I add you on and then you decide between you and Amy. I don't want to do that. >> Yeah. Okay. And um I'm interested in behavior and justice. And who was that? Kristen Urbanowski. Sorry. Kristen And which was the other one besides behavior? Justice. Justice. Okay. And Felicia, do you feel strongly about any committee sub committee? Yes, the behavior. Um, dyslexia. And could you give me a little bit of background on the educational representative what stack sub committee? Um. That was a
037short-term sub committee Okay. >> because um, there was a bill going on uh, where 18-year-olds were being recommended for guardianship because their parents still wanted to help them advocate. So, uh, we were advocating for a middle ground because as you may know, um, teenagers who are under guardianship, um, even if it's a specialized disability program are, uh, rarely accepted to college. So, um, we were advocating for a middle ground where, um, parents can retain educational representative without, um, having to take full guardianship. Um. Okay. So, that's what that, um, committee was about. Okay. So, it's it's no longer an active committee? Um the bill uh needs some tweaking. We might um we might want to put it back just to give it a update. Um we might want to put it back as like a
038topic for discussion, but not necessarily in the report yet until we see um how things go after the interim ends. The legislative interim. So, we can put it on the agenda, but not necessarily a subcommittee yet. Okay. Um So, then I delete that subcommittee? Um or just leave it there for now? We can leave it there, but not necessarily put any members on it yet. So, Felicia, do you have a um and another subcommittee? I'm the behavior and the dyslexia. Did you need me to go for another one as well? No, that's fine. Okay. So, let me put her in uh Felicia. Do Do we have any subcommittees that don't have anyone leading them yet? Well, for staffing right now, uh hold on. I'm going to go over. Digital, Sherry is Kevin Markel, and Claudia
039Cavazos is a member for staffing Jamie Melendez is a chair and Marisa Esquivel and April Estrada are members for behavior chair is Rebecca Faulkner members are April Estrada Marisa Esquivel Amy Litzinger and Kristin Urbanowski and Felicia Penn formatting it's chair is Amy Litzinger and just you because there's somebody else Aaron left. What Aaron Aaron Banger is still here. Okay, but it was a Guerra. So do I leave Aaron or you doing formatting? I'm in digital access and formatting. Okay. Got it. I fixed it. For dyslexia chair is Tara Ceballos members are Jamie Melendez April Estrada Kevin Marco and Felicia Penn for funding chair is Amy Litzinger members are Jamie Melendez and Rebecca Faulkner justice chair is Amy Litzinger members are Kevin Marco Lori Brown Duncan and Kristin Urbanowski for health and safety chair is Marisa
040Esquivel members are Amy Litzinger Jamie Melendez and Rebecca Faulkner. And and Aaron is on um digital access correct? Yes, I just added him. Okay. Now are we keeping track of attendance of members because I know that there's some people that I haven't seen online. Yeah, Cheryl's not here. Well, the only ones that I have absent are April Estrada, Claudia Cavazos, Teresa Ceballos, and Marisa Esquivel. Cheryl's still a member? Uh according to the list Laura just sent. Okay. I would move to approve everything. Okay. Cheryl Did she send it through the email or through the chat or through the Through the chat. Okay, let me see. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13. Okay, actually the only one. >> Yeah, um and if anybody thinks of any changes that as
041far as you know, if they want to lead us a subcommittee, um they can email us and let us know. Um and we'll put it on the agenda for the next meeting. Um So, um one thing that we do in this committee that may be different from other committees is that we usually review and edit the minutes uh before the end of the meeting so that no one loses track of what we did and also because I can't take my own notes um as a product of the project. So, um we do things a little differently than the usual um order of business. So, um Janey, are you ready with the minutes or you need a few minutes? I am ready. Let me just uh delete cuz I know how to do. Yes. Are we
042doing upcoming topics before we leave? >> that. We'll do that first while you finish. Okay. >> Um So, one of the things that we might want to do is we might want to reopen elections so that the the new members have a chance to volunteer. Um I know that it has been technically less than a year, but I feel like with so much turnover in the committee, we should at least um offer nominations if not doing a full election, just so that, you know, people have the opportunity to serve if they feel so led. Um Although, I would warn um people that are thinking about running for chair that the chair um is required by the governor's office to meet in person. So, um if that's a that's an accommodation need for need for you,
043think about it. Um Something else that we might want to cover in the next meeting is [clears throat] to um hold a discussion about the last report so that the new members have a tour of um what we did and sort of whether or not our recommendations were implemented or need to be tweaked given what's going on at this point. So I think those two things would be definitely be on my list as chair of what I would like to do but does anyone else have any suggestions for the next agenda? I know we had some that were going to be presented already by TEA for the next agenda, right? What was that? >> Yes. Well TEA had some I know that Terra wanted some information but she's not here today so maybe they're presenting
