From the decision
Parent's requested relief is denied and the complaint and amended complaints are dismissed with prejudice.
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.
