The Purpose And Power Of A Compliance Complaint
It can be frustrating to realize that your child is not receiving the accommodations they need. But you have a way forward. Compliance complaints are a way for parents to ensure that their child’s individualized education program (IEP) is being appropriately implemented and their child is receiving the right support. Our team can help.
We are attorneys Danielle Augustin and Edwin Egelsee, and our law firm, Augustin Egelsee, LLP, assists parents with submitting compliance complaints designed to get results. With more than 50 years of combined experience in the law, we are solely focused on educational law and helping children secure the education that the law says they deserve. Our firm was born of the passion to help parents obtain appropriate special education supports and services for their children.
How To File A Complaint
Parents may file compliance complaints against their local school district when the school district fails to implement their child’s agreed-upon IEP, mediation agreement or hearing decision. An experienced lawyer’s help can maximize your chances of success and get the best results, but there are some important pieces of information you should have upfront:
- Complaints should be filed with the California Department of Education, Special Education Division, 515 L Street, Room 270, Sacramento, CA 95814. Telephone: 800-926-0648. Fax: 916-327-3704.
- The complaint should contain the name and address of the child, the name of the current school and school district and a detailed description of the problem.
- For example: A complaint might indicate that the district is failing to implement the last agreed-upon IEP if the district agreed to provide speech and language services three times a week but the district is only providing services once a week.
- The complaint should specify a proposed resolution.
- For example: A proposed resolution might be for the district be ordered to provide speech and language services three times a week and any compensatory speech and language services to make up for missed sessions.
