About Special Services
The Special Services Department provides guidance and support to our schools and families to ensure Sand Springs students are provided the specialized instruction and related services they require to succeed academically, as outlined in the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Parents who believe their child is in need of special education services or wish to learn more about their rights under the IDEA may contact the Special Services Department.
