Program Descriptions
Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD strives to provide equitable education to students who receive special education or 504 support through a collaborative and culturally responsive community that prioritizes accessibility and inclusivity. The ARD committee always considers services in the general education classroom to the greatest extent possible. Planning and decisions for students are based on the Full and Individual Evaluation (FIE), along with current information regarding present levels of academic achievement and functional performance (PLAAFP). Data-driven decision-making allows the Admission Review and Dismissal (ARD) Committee to plan individual services needed as documented in the committee developed Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD offers a full continuum of instructional and related services is available to eligible students, with initial consideration given to provision of services in the general education classroom to the greatest extent possible. Students spend varying amounts of time in general education and special education settings, depending upon their specific needs. Special education services are provided at every campus. However, some specialized settings are only available at a specific district-designated site. One of our goals is for a high percentage of students to receive special education services at their home campus.
