As a means of improving results for children with disabilities, the Georgia Department of Education is required to survey families of students receiving special education services. If you are the family member of a student receiving services in Gwinnett County, you are eligible to participate in this year's survey process. If you have more than one student currently receiving services, you may complete the survey for each student.

This is an opportunity for your voice to be heard. The feedback you share will help guide local schools' efforts to improve Special Education services and results for children and families.

The 10-question survey is available on-line and can be accessed on the Georgia Department of Education website in English and Spanish by clicking here, or you may enter the following direct link into your browser: https://survey.gadoe.org/SPEDParentSurvey

Survey responses must be submitted by May 31, 2025. If you do not have access to a computer or smart phone, you may contact the Georgia Department of Education, Special Education Help Desk, at 404-657-9968 for assistance in completing the survey by telephone.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact Dawn Albanese - Parent Mentor: dawn.albanese@gcpsk12.org

Additional information about the survey can be found here.

The EES Family Survey (opens Feb. 3) asks questions about families’ experiences with research-based characteristics of high-performing schools including: collaboration, communication, goals, leadership, standards, environment, teaching and learning, and involvement. Each year, to help improve our schools, Gwinnett County Public Schools collects feedback from our families and staff members about their school experience. The district will once again give the Educational Effectiveness Surveys (EES) to get feedback on nine Characteristics of High-Performing schools.

Families will receive a ParentSquare message with the anonymous link.
