Our due process procedures include a two-tier system where an aggrieved party may appeal a hearing officer’s decision for a state level review. This must occur before parties can appeal to federal court. Ohio appears to be in the minority of states that still have a two-tier system. Stakeholders report both benefits and drawbacks to our two-tier system. Is anyone aware of how many states have a two-tier system? Or do you have any feedback about benefits and drawbacks to the system either for your state or reported by stakeholders?
