The Office of Administrative Hearings solves special education disputes between parents and school districts.
Under the law, students who have disabilities have specific, guaranteed rights to a free appropriate public education (known as "FAPE"). When a disagreement develops between parents and school districts regarding the education of a student with a disability, a neutral third party is often needed to help resolve the disagreement.
