The Conroe ISD board of trustees recently discussed the special education department's rising costs and growing student population. The district currently serves a significant number of special education students, making up 17% of the total student population. A plan to return students to their zoned neighborhoods, known as the "homecoming plan," was also reviewed.

Additionally, the district has seen an impact from cuts in Medicaid, resulting in a loss of funds. Further details on the discussion and the special education department's update are available from the Conroe ISD board of trustees meeting. The meeting included a presentation by the executive director of special education, providing more information on the district's special education services and student population.
