“We just want Lee County to stop pretending to care about the ESE kids.”

A Lee County parent · submitted anonymously through the form on this page, August 2026

We did the whole first week of school and my son's staff was not approved to enter. He is in an ESE class and also will not get his curb to curb bus as needed on the IEP and approved for another 3 week.

As a disabled [parent] this has been a huge struggle and while my son continues to struggle on his own his staff can't use hours, which means we will lose hours. So now he will spend his weeknd making up time and we just want lee county to stop pretending to care about the ESE kids while also doing this to them and their parents. Thank you for sharing the TRUTH
