An informal administrative review meeting is a non-binding and non-adversarial informal dispute resolution process pursuant to 34 C.F.R. § 361.57 (c). The informal administrative review meeting process provides a Vendor or RSVP trainee an opportunity to meet with the Chief of DSB in an effort to expeditiously resolve a complaint he or she may have about any determination concerning the furnishing or denial of vocational rehabilitation services. The informal administrative review meeting may involve fact gathering, interviews and negotiation. The informal administrative review meeting is optional and voluntary, and will not deny or delay a Vendor or RSVP trainee from pursuing an impartial due process hearing, guaranteed by 34 C.F.R. § 361.57.
