Illinois due-process decision 2011-0176: district prevailed

The parent alleged the IEPs did not challenge the student in reading, writing and spelling, and that the district evaluated without consent. The hearing officer found the IEPs appropriate and the activity a screening, and denied two additional years of compensatory schooling.

From the decision
For the reasons stated below, I find in favor of the District on each issue.
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.
