From the decision
The School District failed to properly re-evaluate the Student for the December 2, 2009 IEP in the area of Reading/Language Arts/English.
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.
