Important

The Florida Department of Education is working with school districts to gather information from parents of children with disabilities on how well schools are facilitating their involvement in their children’s education. The responses to the survey provide important information for planning and monitoring improvement activities. The survey will be open until July 1, 2010. Parents with children receiving exceptional student education services in pre-kindergarten to grade 12 can access the online survey at www.ESEsurvey.com. This survey is separate and distinct from the school district’s survey that parents complete after their child’s individual educational plan (IEP) meeting. If you prefer to complete the survey using a paper format, please call (239) 377-0108 to request a survey and provide your mailing address.

Sharing the Commitment is a collaborative advisory that has been created to foster effective partnerships between parents, schools, and the community. Along with the Exceptional Student Education Department, the Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resource System (FDLRS), and the Family Network on Disabilities (FND) provide information, training and support to educators, parents, and agencies on services and programs for students with disabilities. Sharing the Commitment sponsors workshops for all persons interested in services for students with disabilities. Specially trained parents and teachers called Parent Educator Exceptional Resources (PEERs) are available to provide parents of students with disabilities with up-to-date information, resources and support.
