Illinois due-process decision 2008-0144: district prevailed

The parent claimed the district failed in child find and wrongly found the student ineligible, and requested IEEs; the district filed to defend its evaluation. The hearing officer found the student not eligible under IDEA and denied the parent's requests.

From the decision
the student is not eligible for special education and/or related services under the IDEA.
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.
