When disagreements arise, or if you feel the school is not fulfilling its legal obligations, several avenues are available to resolve these issues. It is generally most beneficial for all parties to address and resolve differences at the lowest possible level with minimal conflict. This presentation will cover:
- Informal methods to resolve differences.
- Formal options are provided by the State.
- Preparing and effectively communicating concerns.
