The Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services (BEESS) at the Florida Department of Education (FDOE)  has split into two bureaus:  the Bureau of Exceptional Student Education (BESE) and the Bureau of Student Support Services (BoSSS).  This is why courses formerly listed as "BEESS PD Portal" will now be referred to as "BESE PD Portal."
