As school comes to an end, a north Texas family says Fort Worth ISD failed to provide adequate education for their medically fragile, special needs child.
6th grader Cornell attends Jean McClung Middle School as a virtual student because he was born with one kidney. When in-person school began this year, grandma Bonnie Self said she was worried about Cornell's health."Every day when he was in school, they were calling 3-4 times a day saying, somebody in the school has COVID," Self said. A doctor's note allowed him to stay home.
She turned to Louise Braziel, a special education advocate. Braziel says the grandmother didn't know what to do and how to go about resolving the situation. Together, they complained to the Texas Education Agency, which found that"Fort Worth ISD did not fulfill its obligation to provide the student with free and appropriate public education during the time he was enrolled.
"They're not willing to compromise, they're not willing to come to the table and see the grandmother's version of it and quite honestly, the grandmother has lost confidence in the Fort Worth Independent School District," she said. The pandemic has especially hit special education hard. In the last four years, more children requiring special education have been identified by the Texas Education Agency.
