CASE Donates $2700 to CCISD GT Services Department and WAVE in 2011

Thanks to your membership dues, during the last CASE meeting on Nov. 1st, CASE donated $1000 to CCISD GT dept and $1700 to WAVE for teacher scholarships. Thank you for making this fall a very successful membership drive where 100% of all dues received prior to Oct 15th went straight back to the district so that our GT kids will benefit. We are still collecting memberships to support current and future educational and advocacy efforts. If you have not joined this year, please consider rejoining and supporting our effort of communicating to, advocating for, supporting and educating the teachers and families of GT students.

What is CASE?

CASE© was formed by a group of parents who met at a Texas Association for Gifted and Talented (TAGT) conference held in Houston back in the summer of 1994. The members shared a common vision... to provide parents and supporters of gifted education within the Clear Creek Independent School District (CCISD) with an organized support group that would work with the educators and administration at the local and state levels to create a better understanding by all of the academic, social, and emotional needs of the gifted and to support the development of programs and educational opportunities within the district.

Our service includes:

  • Providing numerous programs and guest speakers from the district, region and state levels who have shared their knowledge and expertise in meeting the educational, social, and emotional needs of the gifted.
  • Helping to support the Webster Academy Visions in Education (WAVE) Program at Westbrook Intermediate School.
  • Serving on the District Educational Improvement Council, various Campus Instructional Improvement Councils, the GT Advisory Council and other district level committees and subgroups to ensure that the needs of all students are met.
  • Appearing before the Board of Trustees on behalf of gifted children - our most recent issues addressed include the relocation of the WAVE Magnet Program, transportation continuance for WAVE and Seabrook Science Magnet, and the WAVE lottery and entrance requirements.
  • Providing a network for parents to share valuable insights and experiences with others who share the role in raising gifted children.
  • Sharing learning and support through our affiliate with the Texas Association for Gifted and Talented (TAGT).
  • Providing educator scholarships to CCISD to keep our teachers on the cutting edge of gifted education. C.A.S.E. presented CCISD with 18 educator scholarships to the TAGT Annual Conference and Conference by the Sea in the last 2 years.
