I. Executive Summary

DALA is responsible for providing individuals and state agencies with fair and impartial hearings in the most efficient manner possible.  The agency is made up of two independent units: the General Jurisdiction Unit (“GJU”) and the Bureau of Special Education Appeals (“BSEA”).  In 2019, the GJU continued to reduce its inventory of cases and the BSEA continued to provide the children, parents and school districts of Massachusetts with an efficient, impartial avenue to resolve their disputes.
