From the decision
The District must revise eligibility based on the review of the IEEs to determine Student eligible under Autism and Speech Language Impairment.
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.
