Carroll ISD has a new coordinator leading its special education programs.
According to the district, Aaron Heil has worked in education for more than 22 years, with 16 of those years serving Carroll ISD. His first educational role was as a paraprofessional at The Lattice Foundation in Santa Rosa, California in 1997. Since then he went on to serve a variety of roles for The Texas School For The Blind, The LEO Center and Leander ISD before he took on a teaching and coaching position at Fort Worth ISD in 2003.
He transferred to Carroll ISD in 2005 as the social, emotional and academic learning teacher, a role he continued to serve until he became the special education facilitator in 2019. That was the same year where he also earned his master’s in special education administration from Southeastern Oklahoma State University and certifications in secondary physical education and generic special education.
As the coordinator of special education, Aaron will oversee programs such as adapted physical education, psychological services and music, occupational and speech therapy. He will also collaborate with other department heads to improve special programs overall.
