What We Do
In very rare occasions, based on the level of care needed, a student may require educational services that extend outside the scope of a typical school setting. This support provides a highly restrictive, therapeutic environment under the direct care of psychological services. This extreme level of care requires that the student be instructed in a facility outside of the Spring ISD District. Depending on the nature of the student's needs, the student may travel to and from the facility on a daily basis or may need residential services to maintain a safe environment that prevents the student from injuring him/herself and that is conducive to learning.
This instructional arrangement is considered only after all in-district services and placement options have been exhausted and the student needs the highest level of restriction to access the general education curriculum in a location that maintains the safety of the individual as well as the student's peers, teachers, and administrators. A Site Visit Report/ Out-of-District Placement Form must be completed for all faculties that have students enrolled in Out-of-district placement at least once per year. After it it is complete it should be sent to the Special Education Director of Compliance. Additionally, a Site visit Report must be completed prior to IEP Meeting to discuss placement for a new facility that does not have a current Site Visit Report/ Out-of-District Placement Form on file. Responsible Parties for Completion of Form:
