California Here I Come

I enjoy networking at special education law conferences. I was just asked to pinch hit at a national conference for Special Ed Hearing Officers and Mediators sponsored by the California office of Administrative Hearings and the UCLA Extension. So I will be at UCLA on April 1st for a presentation on decision writing. Good decision writing is harder than you may think.

I love these types of conferences. I get to network with other special education hearing officers and mediators. the informal sharing of information at these gatherings is generally as useful as the session information. It should be a good education and some fun as well.

I don't know Southern California very well. I went to law school at the University of San Francisco, so I love the Bay Area. But California is a very big state, and I look forward to enjoying the sunny southern part on this trip.

If you are going to be in the area at that time, please let me know. I always enjoy meeting readers of this blog, and I'd love to hear from you.

California can refer IEP students on AB2726 who are eligible for residential treatment ONLY to non-profits schools and treatment centers. Does the facility have to have a Federal 501(3)(c) designated to be eligible to receive funding by Califfornia Counties of Mental Health?

Need info soon. Going into mediation in 3 days. Thanks/
