   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-1973
   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Riley,
   Circuit Judge]
   Civil case - Education law. Both the administrative hearing board and
   the district court erred when they assigned the burden of proving
   defendant's child had received a Free Appropriate Public Education to
   the school district, as the burden of proof in an action under the
   Individuals with Disabilities Education Act lies with the party initiating
   the challenge to the Individualized Education Plan; since the parents
   brought the challenge, the burden of proof was on them, and it was
   reversible error to assign it the school district; the district court
   did not err in precluding the district from supplementing the administrative
   record or in finding that the administrative agency did not err in refusing
   to recuse two of its panel members.
