Today, December 2, 2025, marks the 50th anniversary of National Special Education Day, an annual observance commemorating the signing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1975. The day recognizes the progress in special education, celebrates the achievements of students with disabilities, and honors the educators and families involved. It promotes the understanding that every child is entitled to a free, appropriate public education. We at Itasca admire and applaud the dedication of special education teachers, parents, and other advocates who strive to make sure students have the support they require. THANK YOU!

To the employees of Itasca Independent School District,
Please know that your actions are important.
Every child is given the promise of public education, which you fulfill with diligence, talent, and compassion.
We appreciate how you respect what has worked for many generations while making adjustments to meet the needs of today's pupils.
There are few resources, high expectations, and ever-changing student needs. Nevertheless, you arrive—steady, ready, and kid-focused.

Thank you to every role that makes learning possible
