Our school/district has selected the Student Insurance Plan from K&K Insurance Group to make
reliable coverage available to parents. If you don’t have other insurance, this plan may be a resource to
consider. Additionally, even if you have other coverage, this plan can help fill expensive “gaps” caused by
deductible and co-pays. Coverage may be purchased at any time during the school year by visiting

Morris Public School wants to identify children with established or suspected disabilities, regardless of the severity, and provide the most appropriate services to meet their individual needs. These children do not have to be enrolled in school, Head Start, day care, state institutions, other child care, or treatment facilities.

Help us to provide services to any child with a disability in need of special education and related services! Contact  Stephanie George, Special Education Director, 918-733-9072 Ext. 217, PO Box 80, Morris, OK 74445.
