Frisco ISD employs a localized "Campus Coordinator" model, but complex programmatic decisions are overseen by Area Coordinators at the Ohio Drive Administration Building. Under Board Policy EHBA(LEGAL), the district must identify, locate, and evaluate all children with disabilities within its jurisdiction. If you suspect your child needs services at a campus like Heritage High School or Reedy High School, the "timeline clock" only begins once you submit a formal written request to the Campus Principal or the Evaluation Lead.
For students requiring significant behavioral or cognitive support, Frisco ISD offers centralized placements including Structured Learning Classes (SLC) and Active Learning programs. Decisions regarding these "Level of Service" changes are made by the Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) committee. If a dispute arises, parents should first reference Board Policy FNG(LOCAL), which outlines the multi-level grievance process starting with the Campus Administrator before reaching Assistant Superintendent Dr. [Name].
Data-driven instruction is the standard in Frisco. When attending an ARD meeting, parents should request a copy of the Draft IEP at least five school days in advance to ensure meaningful participation. This practice, while not explicitly in state law, is a hallmark of Frisco ISD's internal Special Education Operating Procedures meant to foster collaboration between the Campus Lead and the family.
