Recommended Due Process Forms
The Compliance and Assistance Division helps school districts stay in compliance with federal and state laws and regulations by providing due process forms that reflect all necessary requirements. These forms are available for school districts to use; however, school districts are free to develop their own forms. The recommended special education due process forms include: information on parents' and students' rights and due process options as well as documents a district may chose to use to communicate with the parent, track a student’s progress and create and maintain Individualized Education Programs. For additional information or comments regarding these forms please contact Barbara Case.
