Governance and Administration are the roles and responsibilities of the Texas Education Agency, State Board of Education, and local school boards.
Special education and Section 504 plans are integral parts of the Texas education system and fit within the roles and responsibilities of the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the State Board of Education, and local school boards in several ways:
Texas Education Agency (TEA): The TEA oversees the implementation of special education services and Section 504 plans, ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations.
It provides guidance and support to school districts to ensure the effective delivery of these services.
State Board of Education: The State Board of Education sets policies and standards that affect the implementation of special education and Section 504 plans.
It works with the TEA to develop regulations and provide oversight to ensure that state laws are followed.
Local School Boards: Local school boards are responsible for adopting policies and providing resources to support special education and Section 504 services within their districts. They ensure that the necessary programs and supports are in place to meet the needs of students with disabilities.
