Do you have an issue with a Florida school, district, or other educational institution? Are you looking for the right way to make a complaint about it?
If so, filing a formal complaint with the Florida Department of Education (FL DOE) may be your best option. Through FL DOE’s Office of Inspector General (OIG), individuals and organizations can submit complaints regarding education-related matters to seek resolution and accountability from those responsible.
How Do I File a Complaint With FL DOE?
The FL DOE’s OIG provides a convenient online form for submitting complaints. To file a complaint, you must provide information about yourself and the issue, including:
• Your name
• Your contact information (phone number and email address)
• The name of the school or organization involved in your complaint
• A description of the complaint
You may also submit additional documents related to your complaint, such as photos, emails, contracts, etc. Once all required information is submitted, OIG will review it and take appropriate action.
Steps To File Complaint To FLDOE?
1. Go to the FLDOE website and click the “File a Complaint” link in the Office of Inspector General section.
2. Fill out all required information in the online form, including your name, contact information, and a description of your complaint.
3. Upload any additional documents related to your complaint (optional).

Remember that filing a complaint with FL DOE is only one step towards resolving an issue with a Florida school, district, or other educational institution.
Depending on the nature of your complaint, you may also wish to contact local authorities or explore other options.
What Happens After I File My Complaint?
Once a complaint is filed with FL DOE’s OIG, it will be reviewed by an OIG Investigator or Inspector General. The investigator assigned to a case will contact the complainant to discuss further details and provide an update on the progress of the investigation.
If the complaint is valid, appropriate action, such as corrective measures, sanctions, etc., may be taken against those responsible.
