SpecialEducation

Updated 7-23-2020

The Killeen ISD special education program has worked in conjunction with various

district teams to identify methods that ensure the continued education for our

students with special needs, whether provided in a virtual setting or in within the walls

of the school building.  Remote instruction for your child will be accessible

and individualized to your child through the KISD Virtual Learning program. Students

choosing the virtual learning option, will have regular contact with their assigned

classroom teacher to ensure the IEP and goals are being addressed either through

zoom sessions or through recorded lessons. If the distance/virtual learning option

affects the District’s ability to provide some direct services or provisions of the IEP,an

ARD will be needed to address the instructional program in a virtual setting. 

Killeen ISD’s Admission Review and Dismissal (ARD)  meetings will continue through the

Zoom platform or by telephone.  We will ensure that required campus participants are

in attendance. However, if one wishes to participate in person for an ARD, the campus

will work to accommodate the request. 

For those with Related Services identified in the IEP and working remotely,

instructional providers will contact you individually to determine the best method

to continue services.  When appropriate, KISD has successfully used Teletherapy

during the spring and summer months and will continue to do so for those

learning remotely.  

Special Education evaluation personnel are working to complete evaluations. 

Currently evaluations are being done on site, but KISD is working to gain the

resources necessary to provide virtual evaluations.  Evaluation staff and campus

personnel will be in contact and welcome families to contact the school as well.

Social Distancing

KISD will encourage social distancing on campuses and during

extracurricular activities to the greatest extent possible.

KISD will limit large gatherings, close playground equipment on campuses

and cancel field trips.

Campuses will remain closed environments to external visitors.

Appointments will be required until further notice.

KISD will provide school supplies for each student to reduce communal use.

Parents will be asked to provide select personal items.

Updated 7-23-2020

KISD will offer meals to KISD Virtual Learning

students. Appropriate Documentation as

prescribed by the USDA/TDA will be required.

Students will eat in the cafeteria, and campus

"share" tables will be closed.

Breakfast in the Classroom program suspended.
