Illinois due-process decision 2018-0470: district prevailed

The parent alleged the district failed to consider ESY, used improper IEP team composition, and predetermined the ESY decision. The hearing officer found the district considered ESY, had proper team members, and did not predetermine; compensatory tutoring and counseling were denied.

From the decision
The Parent has not sustained her burden of proof as discussed above
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.
