Frequently Asked Questions About Special Needs Schools in Lehi

Which district will serve Lehi after the Alpine School District split?
Lehi is served by Alpine School District today, but Utah County voters approved a three-way division, and Lehi is slated to fall under the new Aspen Peaks district when the split takes effect in July 2027. New boards took office in January 2026 and are still working through boundaries, staffing, and assets. Ask your school which LEA will hold your child's IEP through the transition and who to contact if services lapse during the handoff.
How does Lehi's rapid growth affect special education?
Lehi has grown quickly alongside the Silicon Slopes tech corridor, and that growth pressures specialized staffing as much as building capacity. Ask how many students are served in the specialized setting your child needs, whether it is offered at your zoned school, and how the district maintains continuity when students are reassigned as new campuses open.
How do I request a special education evaluation in Lehi?
Submit a written, dated request to your principal and the district special education office with concrete examples of your child's difficulties. Evaluation timelines start at written consent: under USBE Special Education Rules (SER II.D.1), testing must be completed within 45 school days of consent without MTSS postponement (OSEP Memo 11-07). For official state guidance on the process and your procedural safeguards, see USBE Special Education Services.
Where can Lehi parents get free IEP help?
The Utah Parent Center provides free parent consultants and IEP coaches across Utah. With a district reorganization underway and new schools opening, having someone outside the system review whether an offer matches your child's documented needs is worth the call.
What should families ask about charter schools around Lehi?
Utah charter schools are their own LEA, so a charter runs its own evaluations and writes its own IEPs rather than deferring to the district. Several charters operate in this fast-growing corridor. Ask any charter what special education staff it employs on site, how related services are delivered, and what it would do if your child needed more intensive support than it can provide.
