What happens if we don reach an agreement?
It is up to the individual whether or not to continue to pursue his or her concerns. In some instances, the conference clears the air and at least enables individuals to understand the point of view of the other side. In other instances, the Complainant continues pursuing the concerns either through a review by the Compliance Section or by filing for Arbitration or Formal Mediation through the Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) program.
In cases where an agreement is not reached, the case is referred back to court and the parents may schedule a court hearing with the clerk’s office by calling (801) 238-7125. A Mediation Disposition Notice is filed with the court informing them that mediation was conducted but that no agreement was reached.
