This means that you must bring your claim within ONE YEAR of when you knew or should have known that your District violated the gifted regulations. ![]() However, courts in this jurisdiction frequently impose a ONE YEAR statute of limitations on these claims. NOTE: The gifted regulations do not include any “statute of limitations” for claims made against Districts for failure to provide appropriate gifted services. You can also take these steps if your child is deemed eligible, but you disagree with the District’s determination of the type or level of gifted services offered or provided.īefore you take either of these steps, we strongly encourage you to contact us. In Pennsylvania, if you disagree with the District’s determination you can request mediation or file a complaint for an impartial Due Process hearing. ![]()
