Olamendi, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent, Special Education/SELPA PREPARED BY : Rae Rice, Executive Director, Special Education ITEM SUMMARY : Payment of parent reimbursement for services per settlement agreement for four students with disabilities by licensed schools, providers, and/or agencies. BACKGROUND INFORMATION : The purpose of this agenda item is to seek Board approval of payment and reimbursement of costs incurred by parents of students with disabilities. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and its amendments (IDEA and IDEIA) provide due process rights to parents of students with disabilities that afford them the option of submitting claims to the California Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH). Parents most often state that school districts have not met the free and appropriate public education (FAPE) standard as provided in the law, i.e., that the student has not made adequate educational progress. This formal claim results in alternative dispute resolution sessions that involve a due process hearing officer provided by OAH. To work cooperatively with parents and to avoid costly and adversarial due process hearings that include legal representation, school districts work diligently toward the settlement of these legal claims. As provided in other civil rights legislation, this claim provides for reimbursement of parent's legal fees. RATIONALE : The parties participated in either an alternative dispute resolution or resolution session/mediation to resolve the dispute. The parties agreed to resolve the dispute by funding and/or reimbursing for educational services and attorney fees.
