Illinois due-process decision 2015-0332: district prevailed
The parents disputed the district's proposed partly separate placement and argued the student was progressing in general education. The hearing officer found the district provided FAPE and its hybrid placement was appropriate and least restrictive, and treated remaining relief as moot.

From the decision
The District's recommended placement of the Student for the 2014-2015 school year was appropriate.
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.
