The Florida Department of Education announces the launch of the redesigned Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Parent Survey for the current academic year. The survey is open to all parents of children with an individual educational plan receiving ESE services from preschool through grade 12. It is not intended for parents of students receiving only gifted services through an educational plan. Students with disabilities aged 18 or older may complete this survey. The redesigned survey features straightforward questions and takes less time to complete, making it easier for parents to participate. District- and school-level results will be available at the close of the survey window in June 2025. The survey can be accessed at 2025 ESE Parent Survey. Live percentages of response rates can be found at Response Rate Dashboard for Indicator 8: Parental Involvement. For any questions you can contact Bethany.Bland@fldoe.org.

Section 504 / ADA Policy Statement

It is the policy of the Board of Education to provide a free and appropriate public education to each disabled student within its jurisdiction, regardless of the nature or severity of the disability.  It is the intent of the district to ensure the students who are disabled within the definition of Section 504 / ADA of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are identified, evaluated, and provided with appropriate educational services.  Students may be disabled even though they do not require services under this policy pursuant to the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).  Due process rights of disabled students and their parents under Section 504 will be enforced.  For assistance, contact Karin Gerold, ESE Coordinator at kgerold@jeffersonschools.net.
