To request a due process hearing, you or the school district (or your attorney or the school district’s attorney) must submit a due process hearing request to the other party. Submitting a due process hearing request is equivalent to requesting a hearing. This request must include all necessary information and must remain confidential. The due process hearing request must include:
-
The child’s name
-
The child’s address
-
Contact information for the child if they are homeless.
-
A detailed description of the issue concerning the proposed or denied action, including relevant facts
-
Proposed solutions to address the issue, based on what is currently known and accessible to the party filing the complaint
-
The name of the child’s school
A due process hearing will not take place until one of the parties files a due process hearing request (the parent/parent’s attorney or the school district/school district’s attorney). The request must contain the above information, and whoever files the request must send a copy of it to the Connecticut State Department of Education.
