Work-related Circumstances. When an employee receives a subpoena related to the ISD, that person is required to be a witness in dispute. The dispute may be a part of special education due process procedures, such as a hearing or arbitration. The dispute may also involve a criminal or civil proceeding in the State or Federal court system. Whatever the nature of the dispute, the person who receives the subpoena will be required to provide information relevant to the dispute. The employee involved in such a situation should immediately forward to his/her supervisor a copy of the subpoena who will, in turn, notify the division head and Superintendent. Assistance will then be given to the employee in determining his/her responsibilities as a witness directly related to the resolution of the dispute.
