 A Review of Education Programs for Students in the Texas Youth Commission
State Schools
Between February and June 2008, researchers from the Office of the
Independent Ombudsman for the Texas Youth Commission (TYC) conducted an
evaluation of seven TYC education programs. The purpose was to provide
TYC with a comprehensive picture of the education program provided at
each school. The review included intake educational assessments and
accountability standards; general education program structure and
programs; the impact of disciplinary policies on education entitlements;
and special education programming. The research team examined policies
and practices, observed classrooms, reviewed educational records and
Individualized Education Programs for 165 students, and visited security
settings at each facility.
