(May 28, 2026) -- Notice is hereby given that, in accordance with 34CFR 300.573, Joaquin Independent School District intends to destroy the records of all students who exited from any special education program before and during the 2020-2021 school year.
Any student, or former student, who has reached 18 years of age, may review and/or receive these records by contacting the Special Education Department at (936) 269-3128 X 237 and scheduling an appointment by June 30, 2026. Destruction of these records will begin July 30, 2026. According to federal law, parents and guardians lose their right to review or obtain these records when their child (the student) reaches 18 years of age or starts attending a postsecondary institution, whichever occurs first. However, a parent of a child with a disability who is 18 years of age or older may retain parental rights provided that the child has been determined to be legally incompetent or legally incapacitated. Upon review, a copy of any information contained in the record will be provided to the parent/guardian or eligible student.
Once an appointment is scheduled, the record will be held for review for ten days after the appointment date. If an appointment is not kept or is rescheduled, the file will be held for 10 days from the last scheduled appointment.
If no student, parent, or guardian responds to this public notice, the school district will assume consent to destroy the entire record specific to the student.
In accordance with federal and state laws, special education records are maintained for five years after the student exits the special education program. A permanent record of the student’s name, address, phone number, grades, attendance record, and year completed is maintained in perpetuity.
The purpose of destruction is to protect the student from improper and unauthorized disclosure of the confidential information contained within the file. Please note that certain records may be needed by the student, parent, or guardian for social security benefits or other purposes.

Summer Feeding Program 2026! Joaquin ISD has partnered with Center ISD for the summer feeding program. Joaquin ISD students can access the summer feeding program meals at the following locations, dates and times: F. L. Moffett Primary School will be open from June 1st through July 24th for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast will be served from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Lunch will be served from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. For more information please contact Tina Byrnes, Center ISD Child Nutrition Director at 936-598-1599.
As we prepare for the upcoming school year, our district will be transitioning from the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program back to the traditional meal application process. This means families will need to complete a free and reduced-price meal application to determine eligibility for lunch benefits.
While lunch eligibility will now depend on the completed application, we want to remind everyone that breakfast will continue to be offered free to all students, regardless of meal application status.
Applications for free and reduced-price meals will be available in the online enrollment packet and made available on the JISD website before the start of the school year. We encourage all families to complete the application as you will not automatically qualify for benefits.
Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible and continue supporting student health, learning, and success through nutritious school meals.
All-District honors!
