About
FDLRS
The Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System (FDLRS) is a discretionary project of the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services (BEESS). BEESS directly supports the FLDOE's Guiding Principles and Strategic Initiatives.
Eighteen FDLRS Associate Centers, serving Florida's sixty-seven school districts, provide data-driven instructional and technical support services for the purpose of improving academic and behavioral outcomes for students with disabilities and for students identified as gifted. FDLRS Emerald Coast serves Escambia, Okaloosa, and Santa Rosa counties. The four central functions of each FDLRS Associate Center are:
- Child Find
- Parent Services
- Human Resource Development (HRD)
- and Technology
Centers collaborate with districts, agency and support personnel, communities, families, and other educational personnel providing support services for educators, parents, school administrators, and students with exceptionalities. Funding also supports implementation of the Professional Learning Alternatives (PLA). PLA online modules are designed to provide Florida teachers with widely available, easily accessible opportunities to increase skills in the area of exceptional student education. In support of sustaining highly qualified educators, the Statewide Elementary K-6 and the Middle Grades 5-9 Online Content Review Modules are also coordinated through the FDLRS Network.
Funding Source
FDLRS is funded by the State of Florida, Department of Education, Division of Public Schools and Community Education, Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services, through Federal assistance under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part B and State General Revenue funds.
SEDNET Region 1 is a separate FDOE discretionary project, managed by Anna Tedder. SEDNET Region 1 is co-located with FDLRS Emerald Coast in Escambia County, and serves Escambia, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, and Walton counties.
We appreciate our partnerships with projects, districts, agencies, and with you as we work together on behalf of our children!
We look forward to serving you!
