Expedited Hearing

An Expedited Hearing may also be requested if circumstances warrant it. These hearings follow the same procedures except that the hearing officer may elect to limit the hearing to a single day for the presentation of evidence, direct and cross examination of witnesses and rebuttal. The hearing must occur within 20 business days of the request for hearing, unless the partners agree otherwise, and the final decision will be mailed to both parties and Maine Department of Education (MDOE) no later than 45 days after the receipt of the written request for hearing.
