ISSUE:
Was the triennial evaluation conducted by the District appropriate?
PROCEDURAL HISTORY AND SUMMARY:
On July 15, 2014, the Parents received a Request for Special Education Due Process Hearing filed by the Trumbull Board of Education. A prehearing conference was scheduled for July 28, 2014. This conference was postponed at the request of Parents, who were in the process of retaining counsel. A prehearing conference took place with Counsel on August 6, 2014, during which the deadline for mailing the Final Decision and Order was established as August 29, 2014. An extension of the deadline was requested on August 18, 2014 by the Board and after a consideration of all the factors this request was granted. The revised deadline for mailing the final decision and order was established as September 28, 2014. A hearing date of September 26, 2014 was then set. On September 16, 2014, Counsel for the Board sent an email to the undersigned Hearing Officer in which she indicated that Parents had withdrawn their request for an Independent Educational Evaluation and as such the Board was withdrawing its hearing request.
FINAL DECISION AND ORDER:
In light of the above facts, the case is dismissed.
