Request for Change of Goals
• Prior to this 2010 we did not need to report the percentage of successful mediation due to low numbers (> 10)
• Goal was arbitrarily set at 100% • FY 2009(3) = 66% FY 2010(14) = 93% FY 2011(9) = 89%• Federal accepted range is 75-85% (can be listed as a
range)• We would like your approval to reset goal to
Federal Recommended Range for 2012

What’s New in the Office of Dispute Resolution?
• Four new Hearing Officers were hired and trained
• Pared down mediator list from 21 to 12 keeping most experienced and quality mediators to do more mediations
• Hired a Lead Hearing Officer to bring consistency to Hearing Officer process and serve as a resource
• Selected as one of seven states to join the CADRE Intensive Workgroup for Facilitated IEP Systems
State goal is to improve local capacity in improving IEPs statewide. Desire to work with parent organizations (IPUL) to train district personnel and parents on how to hold effective IEP meetings.
