[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every child has a right to public education, and if the school district is unable to meet a child's needs they can file a lawsuit that may result in a private placement at taxpayer expense.

As for the unequal playing field, there are advocates and attorneys who will represent families who cannot afford to pay. They vary in quality.

In DC AJE gets good results http://www.aje-dc.org/[/quote]

How do they measure whether a child's needs are met and how low is the bar? Wasn't there just a Supreme Court case last year about this and how we definite adequate yearly progress or whatever the term was?[/quote]

Typically a child would need to be making no progress toward goals. Sometimes school districts can also fail badly on procedural grounds (missing repeated deadlines for evaluation, not implementing the IEP at all) and a student can end up with a private placement.

Re the Supreme Court ruling, these articles may be helpful.  https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2018/05/02/a-year-ago-the-supreme-court-raised.html and https://www.disabilityscoop.com/2018/04/19/supreme-court-ruling-iep-landscape/24994/[/quote]

Great articles. Thx. [/quote]
