OSEP will discuss trends, innovative practices, and pitfalls identified through its review of States’ dispute resolution systems. The discussion will focus on the importance of establishing and implementing accurate tracking systems to ensure valid and reliable dispute resolution data, ensuring alignment of any alternate dispute resolution practices with IDEA requirements, and consistently implementing and disseminating clearly written dispute resolution policies and procedures. Attendees are encouraged to bring their questions, since the majority of the session will involve a dive into States’ dispute resolution procedures and practices through audience participation.
