In December 2008, the District reported that 96 pupils received special education services. The Fannett-Metal School District provides a variety of specialized educational services. Parents request evaluation for services in writing. The District is required to conduct child seeking activities for children who may be eligible for service through Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

In 2010, the state of Pennsylvania provided $ 1,026,815,000 for special education services. The funds are distributed to districts based on state policies that estimate that 16% of district students receive special education services. This funding is in addition to basic state education per pupil funding, as well as, all other state and federal funding. The funding structure of Special Education is through Federal Individual funds with Disability Education Act (IDEA) and state allocations. IDEA funds are adjusted to the country on an annual basis and distributed through an intermediate (IU) unit to the school district, while state funds are distributed directly to districts. The total funding received by the school district is calculated by the formula. The Pennsylvania Department of Education oversees four allocations used to fund students with special needs: Special Education; Approved Private Schools; Pennsylvania Chartered Schools for the Deaf and Blind People; and Initial Intervention. Pennsylvania Special Education funding system assumes that 16% of district students receive special education services. It also assumes that each student's needs increase at the same cost. More than student identification, in order to increase state funding, has become a problem in the Commonwealth. Some districts have more than 20% of students who receive special education services while others have 10% support through special education.

In 2012, the US Department of Education Administration issued instructions that schools include students with disabilities in extracurricular activities, including sports.

For the school years 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14, all Pennsylvania public school districts receive the same level of funding for the special education they received in 2010 -11. This level of funding is provided regardless of the change in the number of students requiring special education services and regardless of the level of service required by the students concerned.
