As the notice states it
Heading, as printed: "Resolution Process"
Citation line, as printed: "34 CFR §300.510; WAC 392-172A-05090"
Resolution Meeting
"Within 15 calendar days after you have filed your due process hearing request with the district and OAH, the district must convene a meeting with you and the relevant member or members of the IEP team who have specific knowledge of the facts identified in your due process hearing request. This meeting must occur before the due process hearing timeline begins unless you and the district agree to mediation or agree to waive the resolution meeting. The meeting:"
"1. Must include a representative of the district who has decision-making authority on behalf of the district; and"
"2. May not include an attorney of the district unless you are accompanied by an attorney. The purpose of the meeting is for you to discuss your due process hearing request and the facts that form the basis of the request, so that the district has the opportunity to resolve the dispute. You and the district determine the relevant members of the IEP team to attend the resolution meeting. The resolution meeting is not necessary if:"
"1. You and the district agree in writing to waive the meeting; or"
"2. You and the district agree to use the mediation process, as described under the heading Mediation."
Resolution Period
"If the district has not resolved the due process hearing request to your satisfaction within 30 calendar days of you providing the due process hearing request to the district and OAH, the due process hearing may occur. The 45-calendar-day timeline for issuing a final decision begins at the end of the 30-calendar-day resolution period, with certain exceptions for adjustments made to the 30-calendar-day resolution period, as described below. Unless you and the district have both agreed to waive the resolution process or to use mediation, your failure to participate in the resolution meeting will delay the timelines for the resolution process and due process hearing until you agree to participate in a meeting. If the district is not able to obtain your participation in the resolution meeting after making reasonable efforts and documenting those efforts, the district may, at the end of the 30-calendar-day resolution period, request that the ALJ dismiss your due process hearing request. The school district must document its attempts to arrange a mutually agreed upon time and place for the resolution meeting. The record of documentation includes attempts, such as:"
"1. Detailed records of telephone calls made or attempted and the results of those calls;"
"2. Copies of correspondence sent to you and any responses received; and"
"3. Detailed records of visits made to your home or work and the results of those visits. If the district fails to hold the resolution meeting within 15 calendar days of you providing your due process hearing request to the district and OAH, or the district fails to participate in the resolution meeting, you may ask an ALJ to order that the 45-calendar-day due process hearing timeline begin. Adjustments to the 30-Calendar-Day Resolution Period If you and the district agree in writing to waive the resolution meeting, then the 45-calendar-day timeline for the due process hearing starts the next day. After the start of mediation or the resolution meeting and before the end of the 30-calendar-day resolution period, if you and the district agree in writing that no agreement is possible, then the 45-calendar-day timeline for the due process hearing starts the next day. If you and the district agree to use the mediation process, but have not yet reached agreement, at the end of the 30-calendar-day resolution period, both parties can agree in writing to continue the mediation until an agreement is reached. However, if either you or the district withdraw from the mediation process, then the 45-calendar-day timeline for the due process hearing starts the next day."
Written Settlement Agreement
"If you and the district resolve your dispute at the resolution meeting, you and the district must enter into a legally binding agreement that is:"
"1. Signed by you and a representative of the district who has the authority to bind the district; and"
"2. Enforceable in any Washington State Superior Court of competent jurisdiction or in a district court of the United States."
Agreement Review Period
"If you and the district enter into an agreement following a resolution meeting, either you or the district may void the agreement within three business days of the time that both you and the district signed the agreement."
