an expert witness.
(2) A party may
call an expert witness at the party's own expense.

and the opposing party with the following information at least 15 days prior to
the hearing date:

party to call an expert witness;
(b) the identity and qualifications of an
expert witness;
(c) the purpose for
which the expert witness is to be called; and

witness who is a member of the complainant's staff or staff of an LEA may
testify and have the testimony considered as part of the record in the same
manner as the testimony of any other expert.
