Special ed complaint decisions online 20 years

The law requires Washington’s education agency (OSPI) to post all final decisions from special education community complaints online. The records are public and free to view. OSPI must keep each decision online for 20 years after the complaint is closed. If OSPI has fewer than 20 years of past records, it must post all final decisions it has for the longest period available.
