Destruction of Special Education Records: Public Notice
Public Notice:
Special Education records which have been collected by the Hill Country Special Education Co-Op related to the identification, educational placement, or the provision of Special Education services in the district must be maintained under state and federal law for a period of seven years after the cessation of Special Education services. Special Education services cease when the student no longer is eligible for services, graduates, no longer meets age eligibility requirements, or moves from the district.
This notification is to inform parents/guardians and former students of HCSEC’s intent to destroy the Special Education records of students who were no longer receiving Special Education services in the district as of the end of the 2015-2016 school year. These records will be destroyed in accordance with state law in July.
After seven years, the records are no longer useful to the districts but may be useful to the parent/guardian or former student in applying for Social Security benefits, rehabilitation services, college entrance, etc. Records may be requested at the following address on or before July 15th.

District & Campus Improvement Plans
District of Innovation
House Bill 1842, passed in the 84th Texas Legislative Session, provides an unprecedented opportunity for Texas public school districts to challenge the status quo. As a District of Innovation, Fredericksburg ISD will be able to implement our Strategic Plan with the increased flexibility and freedom necessary to engage students in relevant, compelling learning experiences in order to prepare them for life in a diverse, global society. Leveraging the freedom and flexibility afforded as a District of Innovation will assure we are empowered to do so. Under HB 1842, districts may identify certain requirements imposed by the Texas Education Code (TEC) “that inhibit the goals of the plan and from which the district should be exempted on adoption of the plan. . .” Because Fredericksburg ISD’s HB 3 Goals set forth specific goals under the initiative to improve college and career options and because Fredericksburg ISD seeks to maximize local control of educational decisions for students, Fredericksburg ISD seeks exemption from the plan's outlined permissible provisions of the TEC as allowed in the statute.

Adopted and Proposed Budget
ESSER Grants Awarded to FISD
Esser Funds Awarded to FISD
Esser I
The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) I grant program is authorized in Title VIII, Division B, of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was signed into law in March 2020. ESSER I Federal grant funds were allocated to Fredericksburg ISD, on March 13, 2020, in the amount of $465,852. The intent and purpose of the CARES Act education funding is to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus. In a TEA training on August 10, 2020 (minute 15:40), it was made clear that districts could expect that ESSER I funds would be needed to offset anticipated reductions in local funds (foundation school program). Because of this, the district, like most across Texas, did not have supplemental funding; instead, the ESSER I funds were used to carry out regular operating costs.
Esser II
The ESSER II grant program was authorized in the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA), signed into law in December 2020. FISD was allocated $1,924,636. Although Federal, once again, the funding source does not follow the supplement not supplant rule. In an FAQ, released by TEA (page 42, question 4) regarding attendance and enrollment, it was explained that, “TEA will reduce total Refined ADA in an amount necessary to ensure each LEA receives total state and ESSER II funding equal to the amount that would have been available through the FSP while receiving the benefit of the hold harmless provided by the State.” In short, this means that districts should anticipate ESSER II funds to offset another year of reduced local funding.
Esser III
The American Rescue Plan Act, passed on March 11, 2021, provided $122.7 billion in supplemental ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) funding, known as the ESSER III Fund. The intent and purpose of the funding is to help safely reopen and sustain safe operation of schools and address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on students. Fredericksburg ISD was allocated a total of $4,322,460 in ESSER III funds. Districts receive the funding in two allocations: an initial two-thirds allocation, and a remaining one-third allocation. As required of the grant, school districts must expend a minimum of 20% of the grant fund on evidence-based interventions; and, ensure interventions respond to students’ academic, social and emotional needs and address the disproportionate impact of coronavirus on certain students’ populations.
Per grant guidelines, prior to the submission of a use of funds plan to TEA, Fredericksburg ISD held a public meeting on June 14 to present information on the ESSER II & III Funds and collect feedback from stakeholders on how to use these funds to support students heading into the 2021-22 school year. Presentation material can be found here.
