About Special Education in Eagle Mountain Saginaw ISD

Eagle Mountain Saginaw ISD serves the Texas area and is committed to providing a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) to all students with disabilities. The district operates under the oversight of TEA Region unknown, ensuring compliance with state and federal special education regulations.

The Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) process in Eagle Mountain Saginaw ISD follows a specific timeline. After parental consent for an initial evaluation, the district has 45 school days to complete the Full and Individual Evaluation (FIE). Parents will receive written notice of the ARD meeting at least five school days prior to the scheduled meeting. This allows ample time to prepare and gather any necessary information to contribute to their child's educational plan.

Common Questions from Eagle Mountain Saginaw ISD Families

What if I disagree with the ARD committee's decisions?

If you disagree with the ARD committee’s decisions, you have several options. You can request another ARD meeting to further discuss your concerns, pursue mediation with the district, or file a formal complaint with the Texas Education Agency (TEA). It is important to document your concerns in writing.

How do I request an evaluation for my child?

To request an evaluation, submit a written request to your child's campus principal or the special education department. The request should clearly state your concerns about your child's academic or behavioral performance and why you believe a special education evaluation is necessary. Be sure to keep a copy of your request for your records.

What types of services are available for students with disabilities in Eagle Mountain Saginaw ISD?

Eagle Mountain Saginaw ISD offers a range of special education services, including specialized instruction, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, counseling, and assistive technology. The specific services your child receives will be determined by the ARD committee based on their individual needs outlined in their Individualized Education Program (IEP).

Practical Tip for Parents

Eagle Mountain Saginaw ISD, while a growing district with over 10,000 students, often has a streamlined administrative structure. In smaller districts, it's common for one special education director to oversee many aspects of the program. Therefore, when communicating with the special education department, it's often more effective to communicate via email rather than phone. This creates a written record of your communication, requests, and concerns, which can be invaluable if issues arise later. Keep all emails organized in a dedicated folder.
