Person filing complaint

Parent

Grade Level

High School

Allegation(s)

The Parent alleges that the District will not be educating the Student in the least restrictive environment during the 2026-2027 academic school year. (34 CFR §§114-118)

Conclusion(s)

The Student will be starting high school in the fall. The PPT team recommended that the Student continue in her current program. The Student remains in District and has the same access to her peers. The Parent wanted the Student to attend a program in her neighborhood high school, however the program does not meet the educational needs of the Student and the Student’s IEP could not be implemented in the program. Therefore, there is not a violation of 34 CFR §§114-118. No corrective action is required.

Corrective Action(s)
