The mediation process shall be conducted by a qualified and impartial mediator who is trained in effective mediation techniques. The department shall maintain a list of individuals who are qualified mediators and knowledgeable in laws and regulations relating to the provision of special education and related services. Mediators shall be selected on a random, rotational, or other impartial basis. An individual who serves as a mediator: (1) May not be an employee of: (a) Any school district or state agency that is involved in the education or care of the child; or (b) The department, if the department is providing direct services to a child who is the subject of the mediation process; and (2) May not have a personal or professional interest that conflicts with the person's objectivity. A person who otherwise qualifies as a mediator is not an employee of a district or state agency solely because the person is paid by the department to serve as a mediator.
