It seems to me that many schools spending more resources in trying to avoid (deny) the established due process protocols than it would take to just follow the plans already in place. Once we turn this over to the lawyers, the net outcome is only going to be students and parents even less positively disposed toward the school.

Though I have not read the Superinten...Hello Geri,<br /><br />Though I have not read the Superintendents' report you have cited, to be honest, I am not that much interested.<br /><br />I am a lay advocate and have been serving families here in the Washington Metro Area for nearly eleven years. I really dislike the process here in Maryland, because the school districts use an administrative layer to resolve problems for parents, when they file for due process. It is called the CIEP Team. These are employees of the school district who intervene in cases when parents file. So whether mediation or resolution the district compells parents to go to the CIEP Team, where these system personnnel make the placement decision. It is so unfair because many child are not provided outside private placements, due to this continued barrier, which has been going on for years. Attorney do not seem to raise a concern about this process. So there are systems that are configuring their own layers to preclude due process hearings!!<br /><br />A.
