• The Dispute Resolution Handbook and the Notice of Procedural Safeguards (NPS) have been updated to correct the timeline by which a request for an independent IEP facilitator, provided by the state IEP facilitation program, must be submitted. The current state rule regarding the statewide facilitated IEP program at 19 TAC 89.1197 references a ten-calendar day timeline, rather than the five days that were previously listed in these documents.

    Below are the revised English and Spanish Procedural Safeguards (Click on the image to view them.)
