ALL ADMIN: Staying Out of Due Process

No administrator wants to face a due process hearing—but too many disputes can be prevented with the right systems and communication. This session focuses on practical steps to minimize risk, including building documentation habits that hold up under scrutiny, ensuring service delivery matches the IEP, and resolving concerns early through transparent collaboration with families. We’ll examine real cases to identify common missteps and discuss how administrators can guide their teams to address parent concerns before they escalate. Participants will leave with a checklist for handling early warning signs of disputes.
