CASE LAW
There are two parts to the legal analysis of whether a school district has offered a student with a disability a free appropriate education (“FAPE”). The first question is whether the LEA has complied with the procedures set forth in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA”). Board of Education of the Hendrick Hudson Central School District v. Rowley, (1982) 485 U.S. 176, 206-207. The second question is whether tie IEP developed through those procedures was substantively appropriate. Id. p. 207.
