The Bureau of Special Education Appeals (BSEA) has issued revised Hearing Rules for Special Education Appeals, effective March 1, 2019. The revised rules were developed and have been issued in response to differentiated monitoring and support activities conducted by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) during an on-site visit to the Massachusetts DESE in 2017, a public comment period and ongoing dialogue with OSEP.  A copy of the revised rules is available on our website and on the BSEA’s website.
