What is Indicator 15?

• Indicator 15 measures the percentage of hearing requests that are resolved through resolution session settlement agreements.

• the LEA has convened, and the parent has participated in, a resolution meeting within 15 calendar days of receipt of the hearing request; or
• the parties have agreed to participate in mediation in lieu of the meeting; or
