Please note that incoming 9th graders in the Sarasota High School district will have IEP Articulations prior to entering ninth grade.
ESE students have the choice of three different diploma options. The diploma option chosen will be based upon staffing levels, teacher and parent recommendations and student interest. Decisions regarding diploma options are made at the student's IEP meeting.
