Hernando County School District's Exceptional Student Education Office is a vital member in the education system. It's primary role is to serve students with disabilities and provide them with additional supports for instruction and related services. The purpose of Exceptional Student Education is to help your child progress in school, meet his/her goals, and prepare for life after school.

This space will serve both familes and students as a reference for Parent Services. Parent Services builds positive relationships between the schools and families.

Parent Services Representatives can assist you with:


 * Attending Individual Education Plan Meetings to be there as a parental support.
 * Provide information on various educational and behavioral areas of concern.
 * Meet with you to help address any concerns or questions in regards to your child's education.
 * Put you in touch with our community partners to better assist you. We also provide various training opportunities for families, teachers, and community partners.

These are some of the services we provide as the ESE Parent Services department. Please let us know how we can better serve you and your child.
