Alternative Dispute Resolution Services

If you have concerns that your child’s special education needs are not being adequately addressed, there are several options available to help resolve those concerns.

We encourage parents to first discuss their concerns directly with their child’s case manager or teacher. If you feel your concerns have not been addressed, you may contact:

  • The School Principal

  • The District Special Education Office (562) 926-5566 x21156

  • The SELPA Office (562) 926-5566 x25205

  • Marc Purchin, Independent Contractor for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) support (310) 202-1155 or [email protected] (no charge to families of ABCUSD)

  • The California Department of Education (CDE) – Dispute Resolution Services (800) 926-0648 or [email protected] or www.cde.ca.gov/sp/se/dr

Our goal is to work collaboratively with families to ensure every student receives the support they need to succeed.
