Illinois due-process decision 2008-0040: district prevailed
The parent claimed peer bullying denied the student FAPE and sought placement in a different public school. The hearing officer found the parent did not meet her burden and ordered the district's proposed special education classroom implemented, without the proposed one-on-one aide.

From the decision
Here, the parent has failed to overcome that burden.
ISBE removes the district's and student's names from every decision, so this case can't be linked to a specific district. The summary and outcome label were drafted with AI assistance from the decision's full text and checked against its order (how); the decision PDF is the authoritative record. This is not legal advice.
