Families confront HISD board over special education program's changes and investigation

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The HISD board of managers addressed the community for the first time since the Trump administration launched an investigation into the district's special education program, and families showed up to address the board in return.

The stories shared in Thursday's meeting were personal.

"We are being asked to choose between keeping him at his home school, where services do not match his IEP, or moving him to an entirely different campus where he does not have friends," a mother of a special education student said.
