PDE Bureau of Special Education Monitoring Letter: The Pennsylvania Department of Education, Bureau of Special Education (BSE), monitors all school districts and charter schools in the state at least once every six years to ensure that they are complying with federal and state regulations for special education. Spring-Ford Area School District will be monitored this year. As part of this monitoring, the BSE is seeking parent opinions about the special education services being provided. In addition to surveying parents, we are also interested in hearing directly from students about their educational experience.


The Spring-Ford Special Education Department is committed to meeting the diverse needs of all children. The Department's goal is to work collaboratively with all stakeholders to provide tools, guidance, supports and services necessary to ensure student success in the least restrictive environment.

SFASD offers Learning Support programs (for students with delays in reading and/or math which are significant enough to impact their regular grade level performance), Autistic Support and Emotional Support programs. Speech and Language Support is available in all district schools. Spring-Ford has access to the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit, Approved Private Schools, and other local school districts for additional programs, if needed.
