Tuesday August 18, 2026
12pm Central Time

Texas districts are working to improve graduation outcomes for students with disabilities while navigating increasing accountability expectations, staffing challenges, and diverse student needs. Although graduation rates have improved in many areas, too many students still leave school without earning a diploma. 

We are thrilled to have a panel of Texas district leaders with direct experience and passion that we all can learn from!

  • Hear directly from panelists in this host-led discussion – they'll share their challenges as well as their successes.

  • Learn practical strategies to move the needle on graduation rates while supporting students and enabling teachers.

  • Gain new insights on trends, identify common barriers that prevent students from staying on track, and discuss practical strategies and student success systems.
