Jefferson Special Education
Welcome to Special Education:
The Temple ISD Special Education department works to ensure that the individual needs of each child are addressed so that all of our students can become healthy, productive members of the community. Students benefit when there is strong collaboration between home and school, so we encourage families to stay in contact with your child’s teachers. For additional information, resources and helpful links, including district contact information, please check out our district page using the link in the box to the right.
