State Complaint
Any individual or organization may file a State Complaint if they believe that a school, district, charter school, or PED violated federal or state special education requirements. When the PED receives a complaint, it assigns a complaint investigator to investigate, determine if a violation has occurred, and order corrective action if necessary. The PED investigator will review information and documentation related to the allegation(s), interview witnesses, and can conduct an on-site review as part of the investigation. The investigator issues a Complaint Resolution Report with findings of fact and conclusions. If the investigator finds violations, the Complaint Resolution Report will specify the corrective actions the school must take to comply with the law. This service is available at no cost to the parent. The parties have the option of participating in a mediation or a Facilitated IEP meeting to resolve the issues in the complaint prior to the issuance of a Complaint Resolution Report. State Complaints may be filed by completing the online state complaint form, or by emailing or mailing the completed State Complaint Form or another document that meets the minimum requirements to the Office of Special Education.

Queja del Estado
Cualquier persona u organización puede archivar/ingresar una Queja a Nivel Estatal si ellos creen que una escuela, distrito, escuela autónoma, o PED ha faltado/no ha cumplido con los requisitos de educación especial implementados a nivel estatal o federal. Cuando PED recibe una queja, asigna a un investigador para esa queja, este investiga, determina si ha habido alguna falta/incumplimiento, y ordena las acciones correctivas necesarias. El investigador de PED repasa la información y documentación relacionada a los alegatos, entrevistará testigos, y puede llevar a cabo un repaso allí mismo como parte de la investigación. El investigador gira entonces un Reporte de Resolución a la Queja con las conclusiones y las determinaciones de hecho. Si el investigador encuentra faltas/incumplimientos, el Reporte de Resolución a la Queja especificará las acciones correctivas que la escuela debe de implementar para cumplir con la ley. Este servicio está disponible sin costo alguno para los padres de familia. Las partes tienen la opción de participar en una mediación o en una junta de Facilitación IEP para resolver los asuntos presentados en la queja antes de que se gire el Reporte de Resolución de la Queja. Las Quejas a Nivel Estatal pueden ser archivadas/ingresadas/ pedidas por medio de llenar un formulario de petición en línea/Internet, o por medio de correo electrónico o también enviando por correo regular el Formulario para la Petición de una Queja Estatal otro documento que cumpla con los requisites mínimos de la Oficina de Educación Especial.
