What if the person filing the complaint, or the school, does not agree with the special education complaint investigator's report?

If the person filing the complaint, or the school, disagrees with the complaint investigation report, either may request a reconsideration (which is another name for a review) by the State Director of Special Education.  Whoever asks for a reconsideration must send a written request to the DOE within seven (7) days of the date she or he receives the complaint investigation report.

If anyone requests reconsideration, the DOE reviews the file, any new information available, and decides if any changes should be made to the original report.  If there are changes to the original report, the DOE will issue a revised complaint investigation report.  If there are no changes, the DOE will send a letter to everyone stating that no changes are being made.  This must be done within 60 days of the date the DOE received the complaint.
