Dispute Resolution

Of course, staff in our school district are always available to assist you in ensuring your student receives the proper support and services. While both staff and parent(s)/guardian(s) approach program development for special education students with the student’s best interests in mind, sometimes there are times when additional support is needed to resolve a disagreement.

Please bring your questions or concerns first to the student's special education and/or general education teacher. Request an IEP team meeting to address the questions and concerns.

If you feel your questions or concerns have not been met at your IEP team meeting please follow the below chart to find resolution:

  1. If questions or concerns are not met, contact the school principal.
  2. If questions or concerns are not met, contact the Director of Special Education.
  3. If questions or concerns are not met, contact the Superintendent.
  4. If questions or concerns are not met, visit the OSPI Dispute Resolution page.

There are dispute resolution options available under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. These options can address concerns about the identification, evaluation, educational placement, and provision of Free Appropriate Public Education to a student (age 3–22).
