ISBE due-process decision · FY 2026
Illinois due-process decision 2026-0099: district prevailed
The district filed to defend its reevaluation after the parent requested IEEs in several areas, including autism. The hearing officer found the reevaluation and the earlier autism evaluation met IDEA requirements and that the parent's IEE request was premature; the order text itself is missing.

From the decision
Overall, the District's 2025 reevaluation was appropriate and comprehensive, and all regulatory requirements were met.
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.
