161918P.pdf   07/14/2017  I.Z.M.  v.  Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1918
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Civil Case - Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. On appeal from the district court's conclusion that the District took steps to provide I.Z.M. accessible instructional materials in a timely manner, that I.Z.M. received an educational benefit from the services provided, and that to the extent the District imperfectly complied with IEP requirements, the IDEA does not require perfection, the district court did not err in applying an incorrect standard. State law did not impose a heightened standard to guarantee that a blind student will use Braille instruction provided to attain a specific level of proficiency, only that the instruction is sufficient to enable attainment of a specified level of proficiency; Department of Education regulations do not create a heightened "strict" compliance standard; the District took all reasonable steps to provide instructional materials in accessible formats in a timely manner. Because the district court concluded I.Z.M. failed to present evidence of bad faith or gross misjudgment, the dismissal of the non-IDEA claims is affirmed.
