Repairing Is Sharing: The Place for ADR in the Aftermath of Tough Decisions
Thursday March 13, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm PDT
Exhibit Hall C
When the term ADR is used, what usually comes to mind is pre-OAH due process filings or CDE state complaints. Fair enough, but what about addressing the unresolved (or new) conflicts that arise after the investigation, mediation or hearing is over? How do we proceed from there to successfully reset the working relationship between the family and school district?

In this fast-faced and interactive session, participants will receive tips and tools for moving forward in (re)-building positive parent and school partnerships. Learn how CDE, SELPAs and ADR professionals are already heightening ADR at school and district sites.
