PLEUS, C.J. P.J.S., III, a minor, and his parents appeal from a final order of the Florida Administration Commission dismissing their “Third Amended Request” for a due process hearing pursuant to section
1003.57(5), Florida Statutes (2003), and for the appointment of an attorney to act as hearing officer pursuant to section
120.80(l)(a), Florida Statutes. We affirm. *54 It is unnecessary to recite the long and convoluted procedural path the appellants have taken to get to this point. Suffice to say that in their “Third Amended Request” for a due process hearing under section
1003.57(5), the appellants added the Division of Administrative Hearings (“DOAH”) as a party respondent and requested that the Administration Commission appoint an attorney to serve as hearing officer. Ultimately, the Administration Commission dismissed the appellants’ request, concluding that it lacked jurisdiction because, among other things, DOAH was not a proper party to the due process proceeding. On appeal, the appellants argue that section
1003.57(5), Florida Statutes (2003), did not preclude them from adding DOAH as a party respondent, nor was it exempt from section
120.80(l)(a), Florida Statutes (2003), which requires the Administration Commission to appoint an attorney to act as hearing officer when DOAH is a party to an administrative proceeding. We disagree. Section
1003.57 relates to exceptional student instruction in the public schools. It requires district school boards to provide “an appropriate program of special instruction, facilities, and services for exceptional students.... ” Section
1003.57(5) entitles the “parent of an exceptional student evaluated and placed or denied placement” to a due process hearing on the “identification, evaluation, and placement, or lack thereof.” Section
1003.57(5) further provides that such hearings “shall be exempt from the provisions of ss.
120.569,
120.57, and
286.011” and “must be conducted by an administrative law judge from the Division of Administrative Hearings of the Department of Management Services.” Section
1003.57 refers only to “School Boards” and “parents” as proper parties to a due process hearing....
...Section
120.52(12)(a), Florida Statutes (2003), defines the term “party” in pertinent part as “[sjpecifically named persons whose substantial interests are being determined in the proceeding.” The only substantial interests being determined in a section
1003.57 due process hearing are those of parents and school boards. DOAH’s only role in a section
1003.57(5) proceeding is to provide an ALJ to conduct the due process hearing....
...on Commission’s authority to appoint an attorney to act as a - hearing officer only applies to administrative proceedings under section

...Hearings 2003), a DOAH employee filed an administrative petition alleging that DOAH had discriminated against her.

The Legislature specifically exempted section
1003.57(5) from section
120.57. Therefore, section
120.80, which was an exception to section
120.57, did not apply to section
1003.57(5)....
...Further, support can be found in S.T. v. School Board of Seminole County,
