HELENA — The Office of Public Instruction is asking parents and families to complete a short survey on Education Savings Accounts for students with special needs and disabilities.
The survey aims to help OPI understand how many families may be interested in the program.

Families with children who have federally listed disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act qualify and must be enrolled at participating private, qualified school that meets state requirements for the 2024-2025 school year.
According to OPI, about 14% of the student population, or about 21,000 kids receive special education.
