Special Education Records Requests:TEC 7.010 requires student records and transcripts be sent electronically, including a student's course or grade completion, teachers of record, assessment instrument results, placement in special education, IEP, and personal graduation plans.
In an effort to comply with Texas Education Agency regulations, the Joshua ISD Special Education Department will transmit ALL records requests electronically. All requests for records will be handled via TREx, unless the sending/receiving school is located out-of-state. In the case of out-of-state requests, email will be used for the transfer of records. If you have any questions, please contact Maria Ibarra at extension 1001. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in helping us comply with TEA regulations.

RECORDS DESTRUCTION
The district retains education records of students with disabilities for seven years after the student’s graduation or dismissal from special education. After seven years, special education records are destroyed. Any parent, legal guardian, or eligible student may request a copy of records, or verification letter, by submitting a written request to the Joshua Independent School District Special Education Office located at 310 E. 18th Street, Joshua, TX 76058.
