BSEA Information
The Bureau of Special Education Appeals will conduct information sessions for interested persons, especially for those who do or may appear at the BSEA. The information session is designed particularly for non-lawyers, parents, school district personnel, and public and private human services agency caseworkers since the sessions will address process more than "the law". But, anyone may attend and everyone is welcome. There is no charge for the sessions. Click here for more information.

Dedication
To the children without whom we may never have shared, learned or met
