The Endrew F Supreme Court Decision A Year Later #FAPE #FAPE Standard


An article in Education Week takes a look at the impact of the Endrew F decision a year after it was decided. The article notes that the results of cases hasn't changed much- school districts still generally win. The article notes that the high rate of settlements in special education cases muddies the analysis. {I have been making this point for some time...}

You can read the Education Week article here.

Also note this very cool cartoon of the Endrew F oral argument from the article:

Jeffrey L. Fisher argues at the U.S. Supreme Court in favor of a higher standard for what’s required on behalf of students with disabilities in the case of <i>Endrew F.</i> v. <i>Douglas County School District.</i> The high court ruled unanimously last year in favor of that position.
