ESE teachers in Volusia County need support. 

At the Volusia County School Board meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 14, Volusia United Educators President Elizabeth Albert shared stories of struggling ESE teachers in the district. ESE teachers, she said, are drowning as the Department of Justice has the district in a "chokehold."

"They're drowning under the weight of the paperwork that's required and the unreasonable workload that they're trying to manage," Albert said. She also asked the district to reinstate ESE planning days.
