Special services for elementary students in Clear Creek ISD will receive additional staffing to help meet needs from increased enrollment after the board of trustees approved the measure on Sept. 9.

The overview

Since the 2019-20 school year, the enrollment for elementary students in the special services department has increased by about 51%, according to CCISD documents.
