THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

​

This notice of your procedural safeguards MUST be made available to you, at least one time a school year.

​

As a parent, you are entitled to information about your rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). These rights, or procedural safeguards, are intended to ensure that you have the opportunity to be a partner in the educational decisions made regarding your child. 

​

This information helps parents of children in Florida understand the rights that go along with programs for students with disabilities. It includes a description of the procedural safeguards that apply to students with disabilities enrolled in public schools and those that apply to students with disabilities enrolled by their parents in nonprofit private schools.

​

Parents who rights have been violated by a public school district regarding their student’s exceptional student education may be able to resolve those issues informally at the local level. However, administrative remedies (mediation, state complaint, and due process hearing request) are also available.

• Guardianship 

​

Guardianship: A guardian is someone who is given legal authority to care for and make decisions for another person. Guardianship removes an adult’s right to make decisions about the areas of his or her life that a court has decided the person is not competent to make their own decisions about. The law refers to a person for whom a guardian has been appointed as a “ward” of that guardian.

Each of Florida’s guardianship statutes require that even when a right has been taken from an individual and given to a guardian or guardian advocate, guardianship is still required, to the extent possible, to consider the individual’s wishes and to allow the individual to participate in decisions affecting their life.
