Special Education
A broad continuum of programs and service are available for the students of the Royal Oak School District. Currently over 500 students benefit from these special services. These program and service options are designed to meet the individual needs of eligible students from the ages of 0 through 26.
Emphasis is placed on educating all students in their neighborhood school to the maximum extent appropriate. However, all decisions about programs and services for students must be made by an Individualized Educational Planning Team. Parental involvement in the development as well as the implementation of the individualized program is critical.
As Director of Special Education, Melinda Stout oversees department budget and staffing as well as referrals and placements for students. Ms. Stout also oversees special education assessments and all Special Education records. She is responsible for Early Intervention and Child Find, State/Federal reports and Individual Education Plans (IEP) for all of our students. She works with the psychological, social work, and ancillary services staff in order to meet the needs of special education students in Royal Oak.
Ms. Stout can be reached at (248) 435-8400 x269 or stoutm@royaloakschools.com.
