DeSoto ISD Launches Community V.O.I.C.E. to Strengthen Parent and Community Engagement Amid New State Education Laws
In response to new requirements from the 89th Texas Legislative Session, where lawmakers passed 107 new laws impacting public education, DeSoto Independent School District has launched Community V.O.I.C.E.
