Parent Survey: Special Education

What is the Parent Survey?

The Parent Survey is an annual opportunity for parents and guardians of children receiving special education services to share feedback about their experiences. The survey focuses on how well the school system includes families in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process and supports parent involvement in their child’s education.
