A Plano ISD school that houses a regional school for deaf children is one of four schools the district is considering closing."She's not known as the deaf kid, this is Audrey," said Shawnda Krajca, the mother of a deaf second-grader at Davis Elementary."Miss Teague is my teacher," Audrey signed. "She tells joyful stories, and she likes math."The Plano ISD campus houses a regional school for the deaf that serves all of Collin County.
It has the hearing culture and deaf culture blended together," said Krajca.She says many of the staff members at Davis have learned basic signs and the mainstream teachers are adept at how to teach with deaf students in the class."Audrey is in general education math with her interpreters. That is what is unique. The Gen Ed teachers get trained to involve the deaf and hard of hearing kids," Krajca said.Moving to a new school is hard for any kid.
