child, the name of the current school and school district, a
description of the problem, (e.g. The District is failing to
implement the last agreed upon IEP - The district agreed to provide
speech and language services three times a week. The District
is only providing services once a week), and proposed resolution
(e.g. That the District be ordered to provide speech and language
services three times a week and any compensatory speech and language
services to make up for missed sessions).
