Funding note: For a child with a qualifying diagnosis or IEP, FES-UA replaces the standard award with a larger, parent-directed account: 10,567 to 11,345 dollars at the base level for a Lee student in 2026-27.
Every school here carries the state's FES-UA participation flag. The Lee district export doesn't list disability categories served, so ask each school directly about your child's needs.
