  • FORT SMITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS
    SPECIAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

     

    Fort Smith Public School District is a highly diverse community in terms of our student populations. This is equally true of our students receiving special education services and their families as any other demographic group in the District. We have worked collaboratively over the years with area support groups, service organizations, the Arkansas Department of Education – Special Education Unit, and state service organizations to help meet the unique and diverse needs of our students. Our offices are here to support you in working with your student’s needs and in developing effective and appropriate programming for them.
