[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 31537, member: 23"] Hi Desperado and welcome. For a parent to prevail at a Due Process hearing, documentation is required via a paper trail. Hence, part of the reasoning that Marti and I tend to harp on the importance of certified mail, letters of understanding after meetings and phone calls, leaving paper trails in general, etc. Additionally, I'd strongly recommend to anyone pursuing Due Process that the services of an experienced lawyer who specializes in educational law be retained. Due process is a legal proceeding and requires knowledge of procedures and other things that the typical parent usually is not in a position to handle. In other words, parents representing themselves can loose on a procedural technicality even if the sd is blatently non-compliant.
