This guide is intended for District and ISD Catamaran Coordinators who interact with Due Process Complaint Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) and explains how to complete a Due Process Complaint CAP in Catamaran. The Due Process Complaint CAP activity is intended for those districts and ISDs that are the subject of a due process complaint where an administrative law judge has issued a final decision and order containing corrective action.
