Home Page Jargon Mediation Mediation is a free dispute resolution process available to parents of children with disabilities. If you are in disagreement with the school district, you can ask for mediation.
All schools have the forms for mediation.
The process works like this. You request mediation by filling out the form and giving it to the school as well as sending it to the state mediation bureau. At the meeting, the mediator's role is to try and help the parties resolve the issue. The mediator is not a judge or arbitrator and cannot make any decision about the dispute. If the parties resolve their differences, a mediation agreement is written.
