From the decision
The Parents' request that the Student be allowed to attend a private therapeutic day school at public expense is 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.
