U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 09-3104
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Decision
holding the school district failed to satisfy the substantive requirements of
the IDEA by failing to make available to C.B. a free and appropriate
public education during the fourth and fifth grades is upheld. District
court's denial of reimbursement of private tuition is reversed, as private
placement need not satisfy a least-restrictive environment to be "proper"
under the Act and placement in private school was proper.
