BROWARD COUNTY ESE ADVISORY COUNCIL
Working to Ensure a Bright Future For Our Students
THE ADVISORY AT A GLANCE
The Broward ESE Advisory Council is a group of parent volunteers who strive to ensure beneficial opportunities for students with learning differences. The advisory promotes meaningful inclusion while working to ensure that our children benefit from the best educational practices and advocate for a stronger system of supports for our students, teachers and support staff.
WHAT WE DO
The ESE Advisory Council is established under the Broward County Public School Policy to provide recommendations to the School Board and the Superintendent on systemic issues affecting
exceptional student education.
At our meetings we provide a forum for information about our district schools, programs, advocacy, support, procedural guidelines, Individual Education Plans (IEP), 504 Plans, college, vocational, and career readiness, school board initiatives, education enrichment, resources and data.
We track proposed, new and existing federal, state, and county legislation and local policies
addressing special education.
Everyone is welcome to attend and participate. We encourage you to bring forward systemic issues that are affecting our ESE students. If you have a specific concern you need addressed, the opportunity to submit your request for someone from the district to contact you directly will be provided. Our monthly ESE Chair Report is presented to the Broward County School Board while continuing communication is maintained with our
ESLS - Exceptional Student Learning Support department.

A little info about the Pace Center:
MISSION:
PACE PROVIDES GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A BETTER FUTURE
THROUGH EDUCATION, COUNSELING,
TRAINING AND ADVOCACY.
Pace is one of the only gender-responsive,
trauma-informed, and strengths-based
models for girls in the country, with a proven
evidence base. A 2018 third-party random
control trial evaluation by research firm
MDRC, found that Pace nearly doubles
the likelihood of girls being on track to
graduate from high school as compared
to girls with the same risk factors who did
not attend Pace.
