Appearing on behalf of the Parent: Pro Se
Appearing on behalf of the Board: Pro Se
Appearing before: Justino Rosado, Esq., Hearing Officer
ISSUES:
1. Did the Board commit procedural violations by not providing the Parent with a complete copy of the Student’s individualized education plan (IEP) thereby denying the Student a free and appropriate public education (FAPE)?
2. Did the Board fail to provide a complete copy of the Student’s educational record thereby denying FAPE?
SUMMARY AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY:
The Student has been identified as being entitled to receive FAPE as defined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) 20 U.S.C. §1401 et seq. and Connecticut General Statute §10-76a et seq. At a planning and placement team (PPT) meeting, the Parents requested a complete copy of the Student’s IEP. The Board did not provide the Parent with the IEP.
On September 17, 2013, the Board received notice of the Parents’ request for due process. The parties agreed to go to a resolution meeting. An impartial hearing officer was appointed on September 16, 2013 and a prehearing conference was held on September 24, 2013. At the prehearing conference the Parent informed the hearing officer that they had resolved the matter at the resolution meeting and requested a withdrawal without prejudice. The date for the mailing of the Final Decision and Order is November 29, 2013.
FINAL DECISION AND ORDER:
THE MATTER IS WITHDRAWN WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
