As we know, Clear Creek ISD has a long, sordid history with its Special Education program. It’s going to take three years to implement all the recommendations from the Gibson report, and several Special Education parents have had to sue to get CCISD to pay attention to their plight.

Perhaps no story illustrates the mistreatment of Special Education students like the plight of Amy Fry’s daughter. Ms. Fry’s daughter attends Bayside Intermediate, is in the Special Education program, and was assaulted on the bus by another student.
