In Carrollton-Farmer's Branch please be careful about Walter

as Principal. In any school, the Principal is quite important - and

he had issues of great concern. If you are considering C-FB I

strongly suggest you arrange a meeting with the Autism specialist in

Carrollton-Farmer's Branch ISD so that she (or it could be a he at

this point) knows about your child and can make sure appropriate

supports are in place wherever your child goes. That way you do not

have to wait for the Principal to ask for the support. We did not

even know there was an autism specialist because she was not

mentioned or at any ARDs.

ISD has some very good schools as well.

I would not recommend buying at all. If you find yourself in a battle

with

A district, you will be stuck. Based on my personal

Experience with the grapevine-colleyville district, I would

Not recommend there. I hear birdville is good.
