[quote=Anonymous]The major issues I see are: - Says that in any due process hearing that the LEA has the burden of proof as to the appropriateness of the proposed placement; seems like a major safeguard for students. - Says that students/parents can be reimbursed for expert witness fees at due process hearings; that seems like a big deal for parents. Would that include fees charged by advocates? It seems like it could. Then it says that OSSE (Office of the State Superintendant of Education) must shift responsibility for responding to due process complaints to the DC Office of Administrative Hearings. I have no idea what the effect of that would be. It could be that it's just a cost- saving measure, but I really don't know how it would change things. Anyone (attorneys?) have any idea what the practical effects would be? IANAL, obvs. [/quote]
