That's a documentation requirement your team cannot absorb on top of everything else — not without losing the staff you already can't replace.
Accord is the service and goal tracking infrastructure that captures what SB 568 needs without adding hours to anyone's week.
The real problem
Special education teachers in Texas spend an average of five hours a week on compliance paperwork — and in some surveys, up to fifteen.1 Roughly a third of the Texas special education workforce turns over every year, between attrition and transfers out of the field.2 Seventy-four percent of elementary and middle schools couldn't fill their special ed vacancies last year — the hardest-to-fill category in the country.3
Every vacancy becomes a service delivery gap. Every gap becomes a documentation gap. Every documentation gap becomes a complaint, an audit finding, or a due process filing — and every one of those burns more of the staff you still have.
SB 568 didn't create this loop. It just made it impossible to paper over any longer.
"If it's not written down, it didn't happen."
Accord is built on one idea: you break the loop by closing the gap between what the IEP prescribes and what your team can prove they delivered — without making the documentation harder than the work itself.

The product
Every service in the IEP gets logged when it happens, by the person who delivered it, against the goal it was written to move. Every log is timestamped at the point of service — not reconstructed at month-end, not batched overnight. Your director dashboard shows, in real time, which students are receiving what their IEP prescribed, which are drifting, and which campuses need your attention before anything becomes a letter.
Services logged against IEP goals.
Every log connects a service session back to the goal it's meant to move — so the work and the paperwork are the same motion.
Timestamped at the point of service.
Immutable creation timestamps on every log. No end-of-month reconstruction, no bulk-backdating, no questions about whether the documentation is real.
Real-time visibility for directors.
See what's actually happening across every campus, before anything becomes a complaint or a letter.
Built for Texas, right now
SB 568 will require Texas districts to report what every student actually receives — by service group, every six weeks. Those service groups and intensity tiers are still being finalized by the commissioner, and they're likely to keep evolving as districts figure out what actually works in practice.
Accord already logs services the way SB 568 will ask you to report them. When the final definitions arrive, your reports reflect them. Your team doesn't re-enter a year of data. They keep doing the work they're already doing.
We're looking for mid-size Texas districts — roughly 1,000 to 5,000 students — that are feeling SB 568 pressure and want to help shape the platform alongside the people building it. Five slots for next school year. Pilot pricing. A direct line to the product team. If that sounds like your district, we want to talk.
