Planning for the District 2019-20 School Budget and TxSP
Remember TxSP is a great resource for staff development! We hope you are reviewing your monthly reports to encourage and gauge how your administrators/faculty are using the website. As you train users on protocols and documents, it is important that you expect usage of the forms and following the protocols to ensure consistent compliance across the district.
If there is a change to your district TxSP administrator, please notify txsp@txschoolprocedures.com as soon as possible with the new contact's name, title, email address, and best phone number. Please forward this updated newsletter to all your campus and district administrators, counselors, nurses, and support staff.
District Operational
- All documents concerning DAEP Appeals have recently been updated. Under DAEP Appeals you will find the updated protocol, request for an appeal, the response letters and the script.
- Two documents under Drones in Schools have been updated: a request to use drones by a 3rd party and a request to use drones by an employee.
- Previously we only had a document for course action request, however, in the newly titled Course Action, you will find a new protocol as well as the link to the TEA Local Credit Form for your convenience.
Campus Operational
- When is a video a student record and when is it not?
- What if there is more than one student depicted in a video?
- What are guidelines on viewing a video?
- What about law enforcement access?
We hope that this new resource helps as our districts move toward more video usage for discipline and safety reasons.

Update to our K-2 Alternative Behavior Program under Student Support
Counseling Section is being revised and updated
We began a review of our counseling section recently. In our previous newsletter, we had shared some organizational changes that we had made and we will continue to look at the best way to help our counselors have easy access to all the resources in this section. TxSP is anticipating some changes in this area due to the 86th Legislative Session. As our staff is viewing house and senate public education hearings on different bills, we are hearing from our representatives that "this is the year of the counselors." So stay tuned to this section for the 2019-20 school year.
Three folders were renamed to better reflect their contents under the Resource, Data Collection section. We kept the folder named Guidelines which includes the protocol and added Feedback Data Collection, Program Data Collection, and Sample Student Data Planning Forms. As we go work with districts to develop a strong K-12 professional school counseling program, we are learning that counselors like different ways to collect data, so we are adding new sample forms for counselors to choose from that more meet their professional style.
You will notice these additional documents have been added or updated: Doc.Data Action Plan - Group and Doc.Data Action Plan - Individual and Doc.Campus Report of Services in the Resources/Data Collection documents section.
Remember our Document Development Service!
