At Barton School District, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive. That’s why we’re committed to identifying and serving children with disabilities from birth through age 21.
👉 Sometimes children may need extra support—whether that’s help with speech, motor skills, learning challenges, or other developmental needs. The sooner we can connect them with the right services, the more successful their educational journey can be.
We need the help of our families and community to make sure no child in our district falls through the cracks. If you know a child who may have a disability, lives within the Barton School District, and is not currently receiving services, please reach out:
📧 Michael Burchett, LEA Supervisor – mburchett@bartonsd.org
📞 (870) 572-7294 ext. 3201
Together, we can make sure all children have the support and opportunities they need. 🌟
