What is Indicator 15? Indicator 15 is one of the 17 Indicators that the United States Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) uses to see whether school districts are following special education law and whether special education is improving outcomes for students with disabilities. Indicator 15 measures the percentage of hearing requests that are resolved through resolution session settlement agreements. A resolution session is a meeting which must be convened by a local education authority (LEA) after it receives a parent-filed hearing request. The goal of the session is to attempt to resolve the dispute that triggered the hearing request without the need for litigation. Massachusetts Department ofElementaryandSecondaryEducation 2
