Who
may request a due process hearing?
You may request a due process hearing*
if you do not agree with the evaluation, identification, placement, services or
Individualized Education Program (IEP). The school system also has a right to
ask for a hearing when a parent refuses to give consent for initial evaluation
or placement of the child into special education. The decision of the hearing
officer may be appealed by either the parents or the school district by
bringing a civil action in state or federal court.
