The Fort Worth Independent School District board of managers has given the green light to more than $7 million in new expenditures. This funding will primarily focus on enhancing school security and expanding special education services across the district.
The decision comes in response to increasing concerns about student safety and the need for improved support for students with disabilities. The allocation aims to bolster security measures in schools, ensuring a safer environment for both students and staff. This includes upgrades to surveillance systems, hiring additional security personnel, and implementing training programs for staff on safety protocols.
In addition to security enhancements, a significant portion of the funds will be directed toward special education programs. This investment is intended to provide better resources, training, and support for educators, ultimately benefiting students who require specialized assistance. The board's commitment reflects a growing recognition of the importance of both safety and inclusivity in education.
