RCSN - Mediation and Impartial Hearing Tip Sheet
This brief analysis is the result of a survey conducted of all state education agencies on the subject of alternate dispute resolution. Based on responses in that survey to questions about resolution meetings, eight states were selected for this study. Interview protocols were utilized for each state incorporating their reported current resolution meeting processes. The document addresses the available types of supports for resolution meetings and includes information about the experiences of the states in implementing resolution meetings. A joint effort of Project Forum at NASDSE and CADRE.
