My name is Dr. Crista Grimwood and I am a 20 year special education veteran teacher that now serves the great state of Kansas as the Dispute Resolution Coordinator. I am going into my third year of serving in this role at KSDE. Part of my work is to help districts and families bridge their differences with transparent communication, explanation and exploration into alternative remedies to settling special education disputes. Proposed Resolutions are a great way for a school district to remedy issues without the consequences of having a "finding."
