ASDB Campus Move Backed by Law | Tucson News

Arizona’s school for the deaf and blind faced backlash after rushing to close its Tucson campus and relocate to Oro Valley — a move that violated federal law by bypassing proper student placement reviews. Families of blind, visually impaired, and residential students were blindsided, as the school had already decided key programs wouldn’t be available at the new site, shutting out families from meaningful input. Now, the state has stepped in, appointing a monitor and demanding the school reconvene placement teams by August 28 to reassess each student’s needs. While the school isn’t forced to reopen programs, families now have a guaranteed voice — a major victory for advocates pushing for equitable, personalized education for all students who need it.
