forms. In fact, you can use this form or another appropriate model form, so long as it contains
the required information for filing a request for due process or a State complaint. VDOE’s model

Except in specialized circumstances, your child has the right to continue
getting the same educational services until the due process is resolved, unless
you and the school division make a different agreement.
Except as provided below under the heading Procedures When Disciplining Children with
Disabilities, once a request for due process is sent to the other party, during the resolution
process time period, and while waiting for the decision of any impartial due process hearing or
court proceeding, unless you and VDOE or school division agree otherwise, your child must
remain in his or her current educational placement.
If the request for due process involves an application for initial admission to public school, your
child, with your consent, must be placed in the regular public school program until the
completion of all such proceedings.
