WA Dispute Resolution Process

WA provides a protocol for the caregiver or EDM to request a B.I.D. dispute resolution by submitting a letter or email within 15 days of the B.I.D. Level I appeal is to the LEA liaison, level II appeal is to the LEA’s superintendent or designee, and level III appeal is to the state-level Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) with a decision by a committee consisting of the OSPI Foster Care Education Program Supervisor, or designee, and OSPI and CWA staff.
