èÖľyuzuki

Each school district must appoint from a current rotational list of certified and active IHOs in èÖľyuzuki State (except èÖľyuzuki City which maintains its own IHO rotational list). An IHO may be eligible to serve in more than one county.

The district-specific rotational list in the IHRS is designed to help districts meet this regulatory requirement. You cannot access a list of IHOs serving another school district.

Districts are discouraged from printing a copy of the IHO Rotational List for reference as IHO names may be added or deleted from the list throughout the year. Instead, logging in to the IHRS for each new case is recommended.

Accessing the IHO Rotational List

Click IHO Rotational List on the IHRS home screen. A list of IHOs opens. Names are listed in alphabetical order. The name of the most recently appointed IHO appears at the bottom of the list. The next IHO available for appointment is at the top of the list. The district must contact IHOs in the order displayed on this list except when a case is being potentially consolidated or refiled (see Appointing an IHO Out of Rotation).

Note: If a list of IHOs does not appear after clicking IHO Rotational List on the IHRS home screen, this may mean your district's initial marker has not been set.

The IHO Rotational List is updated automatically when:

• You appoint an IHO;
• A new IHO is added to your county; or
• An existing IHO is activated/reactivated in your county.

Setting the District Initial Marker

The school district sets its rotational marker one time only. The marker sets the starting point in your district's rotational list in IHRS. Thereafter, the marker is moved automatically when you appoint an IHO to a case. The appointed IHO moves to the bottom of the list, and the next IHO in the list moves up to the top of the list.

Follow the steps below to set the District Rotational Marker if this is the first time the district is entering an impartial hearing case:

Step 1:Ìý°ä±ô¾±³¦°ìÌýDistrict Initial Marker on the IHRS home screen. A list of IHOs opens.

Please contact the the Special Education Due Process Unit at specedih@nysed.gov or (518) 473-0170 if you do not see a list of IHOs after clicking on District Initial Marker.

Step 2: Click the last IHO Identifier number on the list.

Step 3: Go to the Marker field. Click the arrow and select Y from the dropdown list.
