Technical Assistance Resources for Improving State Dispute Resolution Systems

State programs under Part B & Part C of IDEA '04 are required to submit an Annual Performance Report (APR) on their State Performance Plan (SPP) progress. CADRE has assembled resources to assist states with the four dispute resolution indicators addressed in the SPP/APRs.
