Broward County ESE Advisory Council

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.

Ask YOUR school what they will be doing to mark this national event, which celebrates progress schools have made in providing a supportive and quality education to an increasingly diverse student population, including students marginalized due to disability, gender, socio-economic status, cultural heritage, language preference, and other factors.
