What an incredible day at our Hero Alliance: Collaborative Supports for Student Success session!

Today truly demonstrated that collaboration is our superpower! Participants shared wonderful feedback about the collaboration among Foster Care, Special Education, Mental Health, and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS). They appreciated the valuable information, resources, engaging activities, and opportunities to connect and learn from one another.

A HUGE thank you to C.A.S.A. of the Permian Basin for generously sponsoring lunch! Your support helped make this special day possible, and we are so grateful for your partnership.
