INTERAGENCY DISPUTE RESOLUTION. During the pendency of the dispute resolution procedures described herein, DOC and DOE will ensure that services required to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) will continue. Disputed service(s) currently being provided will continue until the outcome of the dispute resolution process. The implementation of disputed service(s) not previously provided will be pursuant to a decision through the described resolution process. All attempts will be made to resolve disputes at the lowest possible level. When disputes cannot be resolved by designated department representatives, a written explanation of the dispute will be sent to the DOE Director of Special Education Programs and the DOC Educational Services Coordinator.

The decision will be shared in writing with each level involved within twenty (20) calendar days of receipt of request for the determination and will include reasons for the decision. If they are unable to reach resolution, they will refer the issue to the Secretary of the Department of Education and the Secretary of the Department of Corrections. If a resolution is not obtained by the Director of Special Education Programs and DOC Educational Services Coordinator, the Secretary of the Department of Education and the Secretary of the Department of Corrections will jointly make a final determination within thirty
