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.

We hope you enjoy this site and visit often as we continue to build and offer expanded services

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