Increasing requirements for
students with disabilities
to access the general
education curriculum and
attain proficiency meant
that systemic changes were
needed. It was time to discard
the tradition of parallel systems
for general education and
special education and create
new approaches to instructing
all students. |

| Pasadena Independent School District |
 | With a broadly held passion for
school improvement and a true
commitment to high levels of
academic and lifelong success
for each child, the Pasadena
Independent School District
sought to reinvent its high schools
to meet the needs of 21st century
learners. The district has now
broadened the challenge to a
PreK-12 reformation.

| Jefferson County High School |
 |
After Jefferson County High School opened in 1995, it was plagued by a serious academic achievement gap and a culture of underperformance. In 2004, the graduation rates hit an all time low of 63.2%. Significant change and work were necessary if Jefferson County High School was to live up to its promise as the economic future of the county. |
