⭐️ Athens ISD is offering training to foster parents who may represent a student with a disability during the special education process — as well as to community members interested in becoming a surrogate parent in order to represent a student. The special education process is outlined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA).
⭐️ The training will be offered free of charge on Thursday, Aug. 31, from 11:30am-1pm at the AISD administration building (104 Hawn Street, Athens).
⭐️ A light lunch will be reserved for any individuals who RSVP to Brooke Brock, executive director of special programs, at 903-677-6907 or bbrock@athensisd.net.

Athens ISD Superintendent Dr. Janie Sims (third from left) hosted the final gathering of the school year of the Kaufman County Area Superintendents. Those gathered discussed matters of importance to public schools, particularly in regards to the ongoing Texas Legislative Session. Cody Craig, district director to State Rep. Keith Bell, gave a presentation and fielded questions.
🌟 Hooray for the Athens Public Education Foundation! Pictured is APEF President Cody Craig presenting Deputy Superintendent Ginger Morrison with a check for $30,000. The money will be divided among the campuses ($5,000 for each elementary, $7,000 for Athens Middle School and $8,000 for Athens High School) to fund the campuses' choice of end-of-year projects, celebrations or materials — such as books for students to keep, bounce houses, a hamburger cookout, outdoor games, canopies, and ice cream and coffee trucks. AISD is grateful for the hardworking APEF volunteers who bring joy to students and teachers! #HornetNation
