Board of Special Education Appeals

The Indiana State Board of Education has abolished the Board of Special Education Appeals that formerly served as a review board for decisions by independent hearing officers in special education due process hearings, going from a two-tier to a one-tier procedure for such hearings. Consequently, 511 IAC 7-45-9 was revised to reflect that a petition for judicial review of the decision of the hearing officer must be filed with a state or federal court within 30 days after the decision is received. Appeals from decisions in hearings requested before June 24, 2010 were heard by the Board of Special Education Appeals. Decisions in hearings on or after June 24, 2010 must be appealed directly to court.
