A surrogate parent is a person who acts in place of the parent to make educational decisions on behalf of a child with a disability in all matters relating to the identification, evaluation and educational placement of the child and the provision of a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to the child.
SST 10 maintains a list of eligible surrogate parents that have agreed to serve in many of the schools in our region. There is a continual need for surrogate parents, so if you or someone you know is interested in becoming certified as a Surrogate Parent for a student(s) in Ohio, please click here for details.
