Special Education Community Complaint Decisions

Special Education Community Complaint (SECC) decisions are listed below for complaints filed January 1, 2017 through June 2023. SECC decisions are written by OSPI, following an investigation of a community complaint. Investigations are completed within 60 days of OSPI receiving the complaint. SECC decisions are posted as they are available and ready, about every few months.

How to read case numbers:

  • The first two digits indicate the calendar year the complaint was filed. The second two digits indicate the chronology of our receipt of the complaint. For example, community complaint “22-01” means the first complaint OSPI received in 2022.
  • Information that would lead to identifying a particular student is removed from decisions.
