Byram Hills board approves resolutions on special education hearing officers and settlement authority
Summary
The Byram Hills Central School District board approved a resolution assigning board members the authority to appoint impartial hearing officers for special education hearings and authorized the director of special services, with the superintendent, to settle due process claims effective July 1, 2026.
The Byram Hills Central School District Board of Education approved two related special-education resolutions at its July meeting.
The first resolution designates board members with authority to appoint impartial hearing officers for special education proceedings, effective July 1, 2026. The second resolution authorizes the director of special services, in consultation with the superintendent, to settle due process claims effective the same date. Both motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Board discussion on these items was procedural; members did not debate the substance on the meeting record. The actions delegate administrative authority to district officials to manage special education hearings and settlement processes. No dollar amounts, named cases or further procedural limits were included in the recorded motion text; the board treated both items as routine governance matters.
