Question:
What if my child has already been receiving Special Education services?
Answer:
A transferring exceptional student is one who was previously enrolled as an exceptional student in another school or program.
An exceptional student who is transferring from out of state must have a current IEP and evaluation data to determine that the student meets Florida’s eligibility criteria for special programs and does not meet the receiving district’s dismissal criteria. This student may be placed immediately in the appropriate educational program(s), without temporary assignment. A transferring exceptional education student may be temporarily assigned to a special education program for a period not to exceed six months. The receiving school may review and revise the current IEP as necessary.
