The district’s goals include improving student academic achievements, nurturing both teachers and other district employees in order to provide the best learning environments for the students. The district will also provide good judgment on financial use so that the community will trust it to improve facilities and maintain a safe learning environment for the students.

The Dallas independent school district also provides specialized services and programs to meet the needs of its students that may require it. The specialized programs adjusts the learning process so that it fits the needs of students individually so that a student is not left behind because his or her abilities are not as strong academically as their peers. Support services are available to students and their families that help them to cope with personal needs. These services include evening classes for students that may need to work during the day, a 24-hour hotline for those individuals that have dropped out of school, and services for autistic children that may need a more structured learning environment when it comes to their learning and educational needs. There are even services and programs available to homeless and migrant children so that they can better themselves. The programs are available so that no student is discriminated against or left behind just because they are unable to keep up with their peers.
