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.
