2025-2026 SPED Parent Survey

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) encourages parents to complete this year’s survey using the online links listed below. The VDOE will work with our parent agency partners to make the availability of the online survey known to parents across the Commonwealth, as well as distribute it through our social media and GovDelivery messaging platforms.

The collection period for the 2025-2026 School Year Indicator 8 Parent Survey has officially begun. Respondents are encouraged to complete the survey online, as this is the preferred method of submission. Web links are available for each local educational agency (LEA) to print copies of both the English Parent Survey and the Spanish Parent Survey on the Special Education for Families web page for families who request paper versions. Families choosing the paper option must mail their completed surveys to the VDOE using the address listed on the survey.
