[QUOTE="Martie, post: 110270, member: 284"] IDEA requires that states make some form of mediation available to parents and schools, but as usual, the details are left up to the states. Mediation is "voluntary" but in IL it is also "mandatory" which I know sounds impossible but in IL a DP hearing officer can use refusal to mediate against a party so "everyone" mediates, and little ever gets done. It is often just another bureaucratic hoop before DP. The links above are to Michigan, so they would apply to you because state law may exceed but not limit federal law. Best to you, Martie [/QUOTE]
