From the decision
In the instant case the District has offered an appropriate IEP
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.
