The ground is shifting under special education in Texas! Thanks to this panel for a thoughtful conversation about preparing for the many changes happening now and in coming months. #tcasegreatideas2026

[TCASE @txcase]

Senator Menendez agreed, saying we need to get back to the basics with education policy. "Who is clamoring for us to put the Ten Commandments in the classroom?" #tcasegreatideas2026

[TCASE @txcase]

Chairman Buckley, in talking about the next legislative session, said he would like to have a session where the focus in simply solving problems. "Can we just at some point take the politics out of the schoolhouse?" #tcasegreatideas2026

[TCASE @txcase]

Senator Menendez asked educators and families to share stories of students whose lives have been changed through special education services to advocate for more funding #tcasegreatideas2026

[TCASE @txcase]

Chairman Buckley said he wants to work next session on efficiency and on allotting more money for special education funding formulas #tcasegreatideas2026

[TCASE @txcase]

Dr. Chevalier said that with the small likelihood of more special education funding in the next session, we hope for a focus on efficiency - looking for requirements that are time consuming but not necessary for quality programs. #tcasegreatideas2026

[TCASE @txcase]

Senator Menendez, acknowledging most lawmakers are not educators, asked that educators report to lawmakers about unintended consequences of these bills. #tcasegreatideas2026

[TCASE @txcase]

Chairman Buckley: The theme of the interim is to hear from the implementers of these bills. #tcasegreatideas2026

[TCASE @txcase]

Chairman Buckley: Lawmakers will need to monitor implementation of these bills affecting special education. "It is not lost on me that there is a significant change in the way we do business." #tcasegreatideas2026
