Dispute Resolution Requests by Region

This stat sheet provides numbers of requests for each legal process (beginning with 1995) sorted by year and region of the state.  Numbers do not reflect cases that proceeded to a decision/agreement - they reflect only the actual number of requests this office received within each calendar year.  "Other" denotes cases which have come up within an administrative unit that is a State Operated Program (SOP).  The SOPs are:  Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind (CSDB); Department of Corrections (DOC); Division of Youth Corrections (DYC); Colorado Mental Health Center, Ft. Logan (CMHI Ft. Logan); and Colorado Mental Health Center, Pueblo (CMHI, Pueblo).  2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 data reflect the new Education Regions within Colorado.
