ESE Policies & Procedures (SP&P)
Section 1003.57(1)(b)4., Florida Statutes (F.S.), requires that district school boards submit to the Department of Education (DOE) proposed procedures for the provision of special instruction and services for exceptional students once every three years. Approval of this document by DOE is required by Rule 6A-6.03411, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), as a prerequisite for district’s use of weighted cost factors under the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP). This document also serves as the basis for the identification, evaluation, eligibility determination, and placement of students to receive exceptional education services, and is a component of the district’s application for funds available under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
To view a district's approved SP&P for the 2016-17 through 2018-19 school years, visit

Parent Information @FLDOE
Parent Services
The 2018-2019 Annual Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Parent Survey is now closed.


The Florida Department of Education is working with school districts to gather information on how well parents think their child's school is partnering with parents of students with disabilities, and would like to include your input. Your responses will help guide efforts to improve services and results for children and families. This survey is for parents of students with individual educational plans (IEP) receiving special education services during the 2018-19 school year. All information provided will remain confidential.

Each year, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) conducts a survey designed to assess how well Florida’s schools are partnering with parents and promoting parent involvement in their child's education. For more information on the survey, please visit the ESE Parent Survey page. The ESE Parent Survey 2018-19 is open from February 1,  to May 31, 2019 to all parents of students who have a disability and attend public schools. To access the survey please click here.
