MDE
The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) seeks public comment on the document,
The
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), under 34 CFR §300.151, requires the MDE to adopt written procedures for resolving any complaint filed in accordance with 34 CFR §300.153.
The
Special Education Problem Solving Process, adopted in April 2013, and most recently updated in October 2018, includes MDE s written state complaint procedures as well as other dispute resolution information. To provide clarity for all stakeholders, the Problem Solving Process will be replaced by two documents.
The Special Education State Complaints: Procedures and Model Forms document will provide details specific to state complaint requirements and the filing process. The Dispute Resolution Options document will provide a general overview of options available for resolving concerns related to special education.
