        Step 1<\/h4>\n

        A concern, issue, or complaint is brought to the attention of the DUSD Special Education Department[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” header_text_color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#38a5da” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” height=”100%” custom_padding=”25px|10px|25px|10px|false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.cde.ca.gov\/sp\/se\/sr\/documents\/surrogateparentsppt.pptx” link_option_url_new_window=”on” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px”]<\/p>\n

        Step 2<\/h4>\n

        ADR lead contacts family to schedule meeting[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” header_text_color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#2365ac” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” height=”100%” custom_padding=”25px|10px|25px|10px|false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.cde.ca.gov\/sp\/se\/sr\/documents\/surrogateparents.pdf” link_option_url_new_window=”on” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px”]<\/p>\n

        Step 3<\/h4>\n

        A neutral facilitator, staff and family may participate in an ADR conference[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” header_text_color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#41bfb4″ text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” height=”100%” custom_padding=”25px|10px|25px|10px|false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.cde.ca.gov\/sp\/se\/sr\/edgenewsletterhome.asp” link_option_url_new_window=”on” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px”]<\/p>\n

        Step 4<\/h4>\n

        During an ADR conference, the parties work together to develop a mutually agreed upon resolution[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ custom_padding=”||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” header_text_color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#38a5da” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” height=”100%” custom_padding=”25px|10px|25px|10px|false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.cde.ca.gov\/sp\/se\/qa\/caprntorg.asp#cprc” link_option_url_new_window=”on” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px”]<\/p>\n

        Step 5<\/h4>\n

        When an agreement is met, a formal resolution is developed in writing[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” header_text_color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#2365ac” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” custom_padding=”25px|10px|25px|10px|false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.cde.ca.gov\/sp\/se\/sr\/documents\/surrogateparents.pdf” link_option_url_new_window=”on” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px”]<\/p>\n

        Step 6<\/h4>\n

        If an agreement is reached that involves additional resources it will need to be approved by the DUSD Board of Education[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” header_text_color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#41bfb4″ text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” height=”100%” custom_padding=”25px|10px|25px|10px|false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.cde.ca.gov\/sp\/se\/sr\/edgenewsletterhome.asp” link_option_url_new_window=”on” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px”]<\/p>\n

        Step 7<\/h4>\n

        If approved by the Board of Education, the Special Education Department will implement the agreement[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.0″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” header_text_color=”#ffffff” background_color=”#38a5da” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” custom_padding=”25px|10px|25px|10px|false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.cde.ca.gov\/sp\/se\/qa\/caprntorg.asp#cprc” link_option_url_new_window=”on” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px”]<\/p>\n
