Illinois due-process decision 2009-0190: district prevailed

The eligibility issue became moot when the district dropped it; the hearing officer found the proposed program appropriate and dismissed all claims.

From the decision
All the guardian's claims against the district 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.
