\nWritten State Complaints  \nWritten State Complaints  \nA written state complaint is filed when a parent or other individual alleges that a public agency, such as a child’s public school, has not followed the requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) .  \nUpon receipt of a written state complaint, ISBE is responsible for conducting an investigation and making a decision about the complaint.  \nInvestigation Process  \nDuring the course of the investigation, the investigator may:  \n• Request additional information, either orally or in writing, from the complainant;  \n• Allow the public agency to respond to the allegation(s);  \n• Conduct interviews; and/or  \n• Carry out an on-site visit, if determined necessary.  \nAfter reviewing all relevant information, the investigator will make an independent determination as to whether the public agency violated a special education requirement.  \nComplaint Decision  \nUnless an extension is permitted, the investigator will issue a written decision within 60 days that addresses each allegation in the complaint. The written decision will contain findings of facts and conclusions, as well as the reasons for ISBE’s final decision. The written decision will also include the steps the public agency must take to correct any identified noncompliance.  \nFor more information regarding the dispute resolution options offered by ISBE, please visit the ISBE website at [https://www.isbe.net/Pages/ Special](https://www.isbe.net/Pages/ Special)Education-Effective-DisputeResolution.aspx  \nCorrective Actions  \nIf ISBE identifies noncompliance as the result of a complaint investigation, the public agency will be required to complete the identified corrective action. Corrective actions required by ISBE must be appropriate to address the needs of the child, as well as appropriately address the future provision of services for all children with disabilities. Examples of corrective action include compensatory education services, training for public agency personnel, assurances from public agency administrators that the noncompliance has been corrected/will not occur again, and/or monetary reimbursement.  \nAppeal Process  \nISBE’s decision is final and cannot be appeal","cbCailjJJAnltYNZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailjJJAnltYNZ","pdf",185223,"English","# Resources\n## Special Education Parent Guide\n## Special Education Dispute Resolution Comparison Chart\n## Notice of Procedural Safeguards\n## Written State Complaints\n## Investigation Process\n## Complaint Decision\n## Corrective Actions\n## Appeal Process","[{\"question\":\"When can a family file a written state complaint in special education?\",\"answer\":\"A written state complaint is filed when a parent or another individual alleges that a public agency, such as a child’s public school, has not followed IDEA requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens during the investigation of a written state complaint?\",\"answer\":\"During the investigation, the investigator may request additional information, allow the public agency to respond, conduct interviews, and carry out an on-site visit if determined necessary.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the timeline and content of the complaint decision?\",\"answer\":\"Unless an extension is permitted, ISBE issues a written decision within 60 days addressing each allegation, including findings of fact, conclusions, reasons for the final decision, and required corrective steps.\"}]","Parent Training and Information Center (PTIC) - Family Matters Special Education Written State Complaints Process | PDF",1791599259]
