Correspondence. District of Columbia. Cross references: DC-Tool 20; DC-Tool 19.
When to Use It
Use this letter to accompany your disclosure package five business days before the hearing. D.C.'s disclosure rule is broader than the federal floor: it covers all evidence you intend to introduce, not just evaluations and recommendations, and it requires a witness list, filed with ODR as well as served on every other party (34 C.F.R. 300.512(a)(3), (b); ODR SOP § 504, checked August 14, 2026). If you retained an attorney, this letter is also where the attorney's financial-interest disclosure belongs.
