Filing for Due Process

Q: How do I file for due process?

A: Complete the ODR Request Form and mail, fax, or email it to the address shown on the form.

Q: What happens once ODR receives my request for a due process hearing?

A: Your request will be assigned a case number and an ODR Case Manager. The Case Manager will locate a Hearing Officer in your geographic region available to take your case. The Hearing Officer will then contact you to schedule the due process hearing. The Case Manager prepares the hearing notices for the parties and arranges for the stenographer. The Case Manager is available to answer general procedural questions for you, but he or she cannot give you legal advice.
