Upcoming Story in the Dallas Morning News

[Guest guest]

Please see below and contact Ms. Ramshaw asap if you have any grievances

regarding TEA mediators or hearing officers.

Ms. Ramshaw is really putting a spotlight on many important disability related

issues, and was the writer of the recent DMN article regarding the long waiting

lists for public services for disabled Texans. This is a fantastic opportunity

for anyone who has been through the administrative remedy process through the

TEA and encountered a lack of professionalism, procedural violations and/or

apparent bias to let your voice be heard.

She asked that we stick to the subject matter since it is so tempting to want to

vent about the many the problems we face regarding IDEA enforcement, so please

only contact her if you have complaints that fall into the categories below.

I’m a reporter with The Dallas Morning News and I’m writing a story about TEA

special education mediators and hearing officers. I’m searching for parents who

either:

a) had huge problems with their mediators/due process hearing officers

(they fell asleep, failed to show up, had conflicts of interest, etc. etc.)

had mediators or hearing officers who took forever to get the job done,

who broke deadlines, who delayed and delayed.

If you fall into either of those categories, or know anyone who does, can you

please get in touch with me as soon as possible?

Thanks so much for your help,

Ramshaw
