Texas A&M Collaborates with Edgewood ISD
Posted on 11/22/2019
For the first time in South Bexar County, Texas A&M University- San Antonio and 7 independent school districts, including Edgewood ISD, will be collaborating through new venture, ASPIRE.
ASPIRE is the first effort between ISDs and a public university in Texas. It will create academic programs that will generate additional services and address the growing need for teachers in high-demand areas including behavioral health.
Thanks to a $1 million gift from the Charles C. Butt Foundation, the program will launch support and services at the Burleson Center for Innovation and Education. Services include an Autism Assessment program that will eventually support the six other Aspire ISDs. The program is the first of its kind in South Bexar County and will help to support ongoing initiatives in the area.
