Illinois due-process decision 2009-0027: district prevailed

The parents argued the student, served under a Section 504 plan, was IDEA-eligible for emotional or health impairments and sought therapeutic placement, services and an IEE. The hearing officer upheld the district's ineligibility finding, calling a child find lapse de minimis, and dismissed all claims.

From the decision
All the parents claims against the district in this matter are hereby dismissed.
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.
