(1.42) Who can file a compliance complaint?

Any individual, public agency or organization (such as a parent group) may file a written complaint. [5 C.C.R. Sec. 3200(b); 34 C.F.R. Sec. 300.153(a).] The complaint may concern a single student, a group of students or a local district policy which you think violates federal or state special education law. If the complaint concerns more than one student, CDE calls this a “various” complaint. Although the statute does not say so, the Department may require that more than one student be named in the complaint.
