·         When considering curriculum design and special programs and as defined by the Texas Education Code section 26.004, Brady ISD board policy ensures that the district provide “a multi-tiered system of supports that is above the level of intervention generally used in that system with all children. The term includes response to intervention and other early intervening strategies.” As with the Response to Intervention, this policy ensures that the district provide research-based intervention strategies to ensure the success of all students.

·         To ensure that students receive the most high leverage instruction, campus policy states that “100% of Special Education students (and all other students-Dyslexia, ELL, Tier 2/3) will receive appropriate interventions in a timely manner and progress will be monitored and an appropriate alignment of eligibility, services, goals, and state testing level will be insured.” 

·         This goal ensures that no child is left behind, and that every student does succeed, regardless of their academic difficulties, disabilities, or language barriers. The goal of RTI is to move students through research based intervention strategies, monitor their progress, and provide services and interventions, as laid out in the policy.
