Typically cases in this program, if unresolved in mediation, will be
referred back to the school or court of continuing jurisdiction.
Most cases mediated in this program are referred to the DRC by schools
or Justice of the Peace Courts.
Mediations are scheduled through each independent school or court and
conducted on the school campus during the day. A parent or legal
guardian MUST accompany all minor children.
To request a mediation, please contact your local school’s attendance
officer or administrator.
The DRC provides these services in English and Spanish.
