Is Ogden in Weber School District?

Not necessarily. Ogden City School District and Weber School District are separate districts with separate special education departments, and an Ogden mailing address doesn’t settle which one serves you. Check your street address with the districts before you call.

Our child attends a private school in Kaysville. Which district handles Child Find?

Utah’s Special Education Rules make each district responsible for private-school students with disabilities enrolled by their parents in private schools located in the area it serves. Davis School District serves all of Davis County, so for a Kaysville private school it is Davis. Under the same rules, students placed by their parents in nonprofit private schools don’t have an individual right to the services they would get in public school.

Can a district evaluation help with the Carson Smith Opportunity Scholarship?

It can be part of it. The Carson Smith Opportunity Scholarship, run by Children First Education Fund (CFEF), requires a qualifying disability verified within the prior 36 months, by an IEP or another document CFEF accepts, such as a multidisciplinary team (MDT) evaluation. A student can’t hold that scholarship and Utah Fits All in the same year. Ask CFEF which documents it accepts.

Do you have a tutoring office in Layton, Bountiful or Ogden?

No. Families in Layton, Bountiful, Ogden and the rest of Davis and Weber counties work with us entirely online. Our teachers, who are certified in special education, teach each session live and one-to-one by video, and we don’t have a Utah office.

Can a Weber County family pay for your tutoring with Utah Fits All?

The county you live in doesn’t change the Utah Fits All rules. Special Education Resource LLC is an approved provider in the Utah Fits All Odyssey Marketplace, where Odyssey pays vendors directly. Families can also pay first and ask Odyssey for reimbursement, which needs full proof of payment.

Q: Does Davis School District evaluate children who are home-schooled or in private school?

Yes. Davis School District’s Child Find notice says the district is responsible for children suspected of having a disability who live in Davis County, including children in private schools and children who are home-schooled. That includes families using Utah Fits All. Contact Davis School District’s special education department to ask about an evaluation.

Davis and Weber in the Utah Fits All count

Odyssey’s report to the Legislature for the 2025-26 program year lists 1,415 approved Utah Fits All students in Davis County and 1,068 in Weber County. Together that’s 2,483 students, about 17% of the 14,522 statewide (our arithmetic). Odyssey’s county figures come from the student address ZIP code on each application, so they show where families lived, not where children go to school or how many have an IEP.

Davis School District’s Child Find notice

Davis School District serves all of Davis County, including Bountiful, Kaysville, Layton, Syracuse and Clearfield. It serves more students with disabilities than any Utah district except Alpine: the Utah State Board of Education’s December 1, 2025 count lists 10,434 for Davis.

Davis’s special education page carries a Child Find notice (Child Find is a district’s duty to locate, identify and evaluate children who may have a disability). It says the district is responsible for children suspected of having a disability who live in Davis County, including children in private schools and children who are home-schooled.

Why this matters if you use Utah Fits All

A Utah Fits All student can’t be enrolled in a public school district while on the scholarship, so it’s easy to assume the district is no longer involved. For evaluations, that isn’t so. Utah’s Special Education Rules say:

for home-schooled children, “The school district is responsible for location, identification, and evaluation for eligibility for home schooled students in its boundaries”;
for private-school students, each district must locate, identify and evaluate students with disabilities whose parents enrolled them in private schools located in the district’s area.

An evaluation is not the same as services. The same rules say a student who is home-schooled full time, and a student placed by their parents in a nonprofit private school, has no individual right to the services they would receive in public school. For home-schooled students, the district makes the final decision on what services, if any, it offers. Still, a current evaluation can give you and any tutor useful information about how your child learns. It can also matter for the Carson Smith Opportunity Scholarship, which requires a qualifying disability verified within the prior 36 months, by an IEP or another document Children First Education Fund accepts, such as a multidisciplinary team (MDT) evaluation. A child can’t hold that scholarship and Utah Fits All in the same year; our comparison guide explains the trade-offs.

Weber County has two school districts

Unlike Davis, Weber County is split between two separate districts, each with its own special education department:

District	Students with disabilities served, Dec 1, 2025	Notes
Weber School District	4,706	Covers Weber County outside Ogden City School District; its special education office is in Ogden
Ogden City School District	1,491	Serves students with disabilities aged 3 to 22 who live within its boundaries

Because an Ogden mailing address can fall in either district, don’t rely on the city name. Check your street address with the districts first, then contact the right special education office about Child Find.

Questions to ask any tutor, nearby or online

Whether you’re considering someone in Layton or an online teacher, these questions help you compare fairly:

Who will actually teach my child, and what are their credentials? Ours are certified in special education, and our own teachers provide every session.
Is it one-to-one? All of our sessions are.
How will you use my child’s IEP, 504 plan or evaluation? You share the academic goals you want worked on, and the teacher plans around them.
How do you handle attention, frustration or a hard day? Ask for a concrete answer, not a slogan.
Can I pay through the Odyssey Marketplace? Odyssey publishes its own list of approved Marketplace vendors; ask any provider for the exact name they’re listed under.

We teach reading, math, executive-function skills and academic skills for autistic learners. We don’t offer therapy, speech services, evaluations or diagnosis. Special Ed Resource has worked with children who learn differently since 2014.

Paying for tutoring with Utah Fits All

Special Education Resource LLC is an approved provider in the Utah Fits All Odyssey Marketplace. We are not Odyssey, the Utah State Board of Education or the State of Utah. The simplest route is a Marketplace order, where, in Odyssey’s words, “Odyssey pays vendors directly—you don’t have to pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement.”

If you pay a provider yourself and ask for reimbursement instead, Odyssey’s 2026-27 rules are strict about proof:

you need an itemized receipt, proof the payment was completed (an invoice alone isn’t enough) and a record of how you paid;
cash or check payments need a point-of-sale or system-generated receipt, and self-prepared invoices aren’t accepted for them;
payments through apps such as Venmo, PayPal or Zelle need the vendor’s receipt plus a screenshot of the completed transaction;
the cost can’t be more than 10% above a comparable Marketplace price.

Reimbursement decisions are Odyssey’s, and approval isn’t automatic. For the full picture, read paying for tutoring with Utah Fits All and what Utah Fits All pays for.

Court status: In April 2025, Utah’s Third District Court ruled Utah Fits All unconstitutional, and the State appealed to the Utah Supreme Court. As of October 1, 2026, the Utah Supreme Court has not ruled, and the program is operating for the 2026-27 school year. More on the court case.

The Utah Parent Center (800-468-1160) offers free help to Utah families of children with disabilities, and its Family to Family page lists a Weber County parent group.
