EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT EDUCATION SERVICES

The Exceptional Education and Student Services Department is committed to supporting students with diverse learning needs, their families, and schools in providing access to a high-quality education. The Exceptional Education and Student Services Department provides services and support for students with disabilities, gifted learners, and other eligible students. 

The EE/SS Placement Office provides support to schools and parents with placements and transportation arrangements for students who receive exceptional education services in self-contained* or low-incidence settings.  School placements are made based on the student’s residential address or the address from which the student is transported.  Transportation arrangements to self-contained/low-incidence school sites are set up to ensure that students access their ESE services at the school closest to their address that has their recommended setting and available space.  The Placement Office is available throughout the school year to answer questions regarding placements to ESE self-contained/low-incidence settings and to process transportation requests. Please direct all questions to ESE_Placement@duvalschools.org.

ESE Out of District Transfer Students:

Whether you are moving to Florida from another state or just transferring from another Florida county, your student has a right to a free appropriate public education (FAPE). We encourage families to contact the new school before they move to discuss their student’s needs and share a copy of his/her IEP along with any other documentation. In most cases, comparable services (services that are similar or equivalent) can be provided in the neighborhood school. Should services identified in the student’s IEP not be available at the neighborhood school, the EE/SS Placement Office will identify the school site closest to their home in which comparable services may be provided. The neighborhood school representative will provide a copy of the student’s out of district IEP and documentation to the ESE Placement office. In consultation with the student’s parent/guardian, a District Specialist will review and process the student’s transfer into the district.

Transferring within Florida

If the student is transferring into Duval County from another Florida district and received special education services, follow these steps.

· Contact the neighborhood school. The neighborhood school can be identified by using the school locator. 

· Provide the student’s most recent IEP and documentation, and

· Request to speak to the Registrar, Exceptional Student Education Lead Teacher or School Counselor.

Comparable services at the designated school will be provided until an IEP team meeting is held to identify the student’s current educational needs and how those needs will be met within the new educational environment.

 

Transferring from another state or country

If the student is transferring into Duval County from another state or country and they received special education services, follow these steps.

· Contact the neighborhood school. The neighborhood school can be identified by using the school locator. 

· Provide the student’s most recent IEP and documents, and

· Request to speak to the Registrar, Exceptional Student Education Lead Teacher or School counselor.

Comparable services at the designated school will be provided until the school district conducts an initial evaluation (if determined necessary) and develops, adopts and implements a new IEP that meets Florida eligibility requirements.

Information on Mental Health Challenges Facing Military Students

The School Health Services Program is intended to minimize health barriers to learning for public school students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.  It addresses day-to-day student health needs, emergency health needs, and in-school management of chronic and acute health conditions like diabetes, asthma, allergies, and epilepsy.  In-school care management helps to ensure that student health conditions do not prevent students from attending school. 

Hazel Health has partnered with Duval County Public Schools to provide access to quality health care services for all students, at no cost to families, this school year. A school health representative can initiate a video visit with a Hazel health care provider while your child is at school to provide either physical or mental health services. Therapy sessions with Hazel Health are a safe space and are private and confidential.
