The Special Populations Monitoring Team focuses on the effectiveness of federal and state program areas, specifically, Bilingual Education, and Other Special Population (OSP) programs which includes students in foster care, experiencing homelessness, or military-connected in a Texas school system. Annually, school systems receive Determination Levels (DL) of 1-4 as determined within the Results-Driven Accountability (RDA) framework. The Special Populations Monitoring Team engages with schools receiving DLs of 3 or 4 in continuous improvement activities that lead to the development and implementation of a district focused strategic support plan (SSP).
