In a decision, March 22, 2017, the Supreme Court explained
the standard required under federal special education law.
In Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District [580 U. S. ____
(2017)], on March 22, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held that to meet its substantive
obligation under the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), a
school must offer an IEP (individualized education program) reasonably calculated to enable a child to make progress
appropriate in light of
the child’s circumstances.
In the decision, the Court rejected the “merely more than de
minimis” standard set by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit as was
used in an opinion in another special education case by Judge Neil M. Gorsuch.
