By requesting mediation I understand:

  1. The mediator is not providing any party with legal advice or understanding.
  2. The mediator is not providing counseling or therapy services.
  3. The mediation process may involve the mediator speaking privately to the parents and the school representatives.
  4. The mediator will work with all of the parties to help develop an agreement.
  5. Discussions during the mediation session will be confidential and may not be used during subsequent proceedings.
  6. I may not call the mediator as a witness in any further proceeding pertaining to the child’s case.
  7. The signed agreement may be shared with other educators working with the child.
