Illinois due-process decision 2010-0498: split decision
The parents claimed the district delayed evaluating and identifying the student and sought compensatory tutoring. The hearing officer found an untimely provision of FAPE and awarded after-school tutoring, at less than the hours requested, and found other claims unproven.

From the decision
The position of the parents is upheld.
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.
