Annual VDOE Special Education Survey

Your feedback is needed! If you have a child with a disability we want to hear from you. Please take a moment to participate in the VDOE Special Education Parent Survey. You should complete one for each child you have that receives special education services. Please contact Rebecca Sharp (rsharp@fccps.org) if you have any questions or need additional information.
