Lamar Consolidated ISD (Lamar CISD), the district that runs Fulshear High School, takes parent requests for special education evaluations through its Director of Special Programs. Lamar CISD processes referrals within 15 school days and gives evaluators 45 school days after signed consent. A Fulshear mailing address does not settle the district, so confirm yours first.

Lamar CISD's Child Find system covers children who live in the district or attend a private school inside its boundaries. Most campus referrals begin at a Problem Solving Team meeting, which reviews interventions and progress data. Parents do not have to wait for that team: a parent request goes straight to the Director of Special Programs, and a Referral Review Committee decides whether to evaluate. If it declines, you receive Prior Written Notice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Special Needs Schools in Fulshear

What happens after the Referral Review Committee approves testing?
The campus counselor sends you a packet: Prior Written Notice, Notice of Evaluation, Procedural Safeguards, the Guide to the ARD Process, a consent form, and parent questionnaires. Once you return signed consent, the diagnostician, school psychologist, or speech pathologist has 45 school days to finish. An ARD meeting to review the results is then scheduled within 30 calendar days.
Does every Lamar CISD campus have a special education contact?
Yes. Lamar CISD publishes a yearly list of special education referral contacts for each elementary and secondary campus. If your child already attends a Lamar CISD school, that campus contact is a quick route for questions. A parent request for an evaluation still goes to the Director of Special Programs, as the district's Child Find procedures describe.
My child is 3 and not in school yet. Where do we go?
Lamar CISD lists an early childhood screening contact on its Child Find page. Texas provides special education free through the public schools for eligible children ages 3 to 5 who are not in kindergarten, in settings that can include a pre-K classroom, the home, or Head Start. See our early intervention guide.
How should I write the request?
Put it in writing, date it, and describe what you see at home and school: reading, speech, behavior, motor skills, or attention. Ask for a full and individual initial evaluation and keep a copy. TEA's timeline says the district must answer a written request within 15 school days. Our request guide has a template.
