125A.25 LEGISLATIVE COMMITMENT TO CONCILIATION.
    Subdivision 1. Policy statement. The legislature finds that conciliation conferences pursuant
to sections 125A.03 to 125A.24 and 125A.65 serve better than formal hearings to promote
communications between parents and school staff and to reach prompt, shared decisions about
educational programs for children with a disability. Further, the legislature urges the United States
Department of Education and the United States Office of Civil Rights to acknowledge that the
conciliation conference process violates no federal statute or regulation.
    Subd. 2. State plan. The commissioner shall not adopt any provision in the state plan for
special education that reduces the opportunities for parents and school districts to resolve their
differences through conciliation.
