29 Fort Worth schools could see attendance zone changes
By EVA-MARIE AYALA
FORT WORTH — Trustees are considering boundary changes that would affect 29 schools, and a vote on new attendance zones could occur as early as Feb. 10.
Officials said the district must redraw boundaries to relieve overcrowding at some schools and fill up others that are underutilized.
Should the changes be adopted for next school year, students would be required to attend their new home schools unless they were entering the last grade offered at the campus. Transfers into and out of affected schools would not be allowed for the first two years or so, officials said at a Saturday school board work session.

Dec 27, 2008
DENTON (UNT), Texas – If you have ever given your pet a bath, then you may be able to imagine how challenging it could be to bathe and handle a wild animal; yet, zookeepers and naturalists regularly need to bathe and provide medical treatment for animals to ensure that they have a safe and happy life.
Students from the Organization for Reinforcement Contingencies with Animals, a student organization at the University of North Texas, are learning about challenges associated with caring for wild animals at the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney. ORCA and the Heard Museum have partnered to support the Heard’s non-native animal exhibit. The relationship creates a positive, hands-on learning environment for ORCA students while providing the museum with animal behavior training.

Repercussions from the current financial crisis are affecting everyone. For the 60,000 people with disabilities in Collin County, life-altering challenges are nothing new. The outlook for 2009, however, shows great potential for change.
For example, parents seeking after-school programs are often rejected because their special-needs children do not conform to the required guidelines. Today, however, McKinney is piloting the first ISD-sponsored after-school program for students with significant disabilities.
