School districts are required to appoint IHOs outside of the alphabetical rotational selection process under certain circumstances. Such circumstances typically involve potential consolidation of two or more cases, potential refiling of a previously withdrawn case, or cases that include both expedited and nonexpedited issues.
Note: A due process complaint that involves both expedited and nonexpedited issues must be entered as two separate cases, and the same IHO must be appointed to both cases. Please contact the Special Education Due Process Unit for assistance atÌýspecedih@nysed.govÌýorÌý(518) 473-0170.
