Introduction In order to protect the rights of a child with a disability, Charter Local Education Agencies (LEAs) shall follow all procedural safeguards as set forth in law. Parents shall receive written notice of their rights in accordance with law, Charter LEA Board policy, and administrative regulation. NOTE: Education Code § 561958 authorizes the policy to include provisions for involving Charter LEA Board members in any due process hearing procedure activities. The Charter LEA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or designee shall represent the Charter LEA in any due process hearing conducted with regard to Charter LEA students and shall inform their governing board about the result of the hearing. NOTE: A complaint, which can be made by anyone, is an allegation of a violation of state or federal law. These complaints are different than due process complaint, as detailed in the accompanying administrative regulation, which is a legal document that must be filed to initiate a due process hearing.
