The compliance officer may informally discuss with all the parties the possibility of using mediation within three (3) business days after his or her receipt of the complaint. All complaints shall be appropriately investigated in a timely manner. Within ten (10) business days after the compliance officer receives the complaint, the compliance officer shall begin an investigation into the complaint. The investigation shall include an opportunity for the complainant, or the complainant's representative, or both, to present the compliance officer with any evidence, or information leading to evidence, to support the allegations in the complaint. Unless extended by a written agreement with the complainant, the County Office shall issue a written decision based on the evidence with sixty (60) calendar days from receipt of the complaint by the Siskiyou County Office of Education.
