It is recommended, per our school attorneys, that the Board designate one of its members to approve the appointment of Impartial Hearing Officers when needed.
The time lines established by the state that a district must adhere to upon the receipt of request for an impartial hearing in terms of special education students are very specific. If the board designates one of its members to approve the appointment of a specific hearing officer when needed, a special board meeting would not have to be convened to approve that appointment. When the district clerk receives an impartial hearing request, she must start contacting the individuals on the state’s list of approved IHO’s until an individual is confirmed that he/she is willing and available to conduct the hearing within the required time line. The district clerk would then contact the designated board member to obtain his/her approval of the IHO’s appointment. (Of course, at the next regular board meeting, the board would be asked to confirm the appointment of the IHO as approved by the board’s designee on a specific date and that confirmation would be reflected in the minutes of that meeting and we would be in compliance in terms of the required time lines.)
FYI: Last year, Lloyd Greer was designated as the board member to approve the appointment of an Impartial Hearing Officer if needed between board meetings.
