22 März 2017 Jahr - Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District

Beschreibung:

This was a supreme court case in 2017 that established that students with disabilities are entitled to an IEP, or Individualized Education Program that helps them to make progress in school. Parents of a child with autism sued their school district for tuition reimbursement because their child was not making progress in public school. Unanimously, the court ruled that schools must provide IEPs that are reasonably calculated in order to help children with disabilities make progress in school. The court concluded that "appropriate progress" is would allow most children to be able to be fully integrated into a classroom, as well as move on from their grade at the end of the year (Oyez). This case was very important in establishing that the court can decide what level of educational benefits are required to be provided for children with disabilities under IDEA. This case rejected the previous Supreme Court ruling for Rowley in 1982, as this case clarified that a student's IEP must be designed for the maximum potential of the student rather than the "de minimus" standard set by Rowley. De minimus stated that IEPs only had to reflect minimal progress goals, rather than ambitious progress goals, which Endrew F rejected in this court case. (Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law)
