ISBE due-process decision · FY 2009
Illinois due-process decision 2008-0424: district prevailed
After a private therapeutic day school terminated the student, the parent unilaterally placed him elsewhere and sought reimbursement. The hearing officer found the change was one of location, the existing IEP remained appropriate, and the district's proposed programs were appropriate; reimbursement was denied.

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.
