Description
ABOUT OATH:
The City of New York’s Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) is the nation’s largest administrative tribunal, holding more than 250,000 trials and hearings a year. As the City’s central, independent administrative law court, OATH adjudicates a wide range of matters filed by nearly every city agency, board and commission. OATH also houses the Center for Creative Conflict Resolution which provides mediation and restorative justice support to City government agencies and the general public, and the Administrative Judicial Institute, a resource center that provides training, continuing education, research and support services for administrative law judges and hearing officers.
JOB DESCRIPTION:
OATH is seeking to hire one attorney to serve as special education hearing officers in the administration of special education impartial due process hearings for students with disabilities, 3-21 years of age, arising under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and/or pursuant to Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (Section 504).
The IDEA has established due process procedures for use when a parent and a school district disagree about the identification, evaluation, educational placement, or the provision of a free appropriate public education for a student with a disability. Under Section 504 a due process complaint may be filed by a parent or guardian of a qualified student with a disability on any matter relating to the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of such student. Such disagreements and/or claims may be resolved through an impartial hearing, a formal method in which the parties present and refute evidence before a hearing officer. Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
- Conducting hearings by remote means and in person, evaluating evidence, and maintaining administrative courtroom procedures.
- Conduct settlement conferences between parents and the New York City Department of Education.
- Issue written decisions.
- Conduct legal research regarding state and federal education laws, the IDEA, Section 504, and special education programs.
- Maintain a high degree of professionalism and effectiveness in handling assigned matters promptly.
- Handle special assignments and projects including but not limited to oral and/or written presentations.
New York State Education Department impartial hearing officer training and additional training will be provided at no cost to the selected candidate after hiring.
OATH Special Education Hearing Officers are appointed for a term of four years, with potential for reappointment.
