Case Analysis: Student Access and Inclusion

/in /by

Case Studies

The 1988 Supreme Court case Honig v. DoeLinks to an external site. involved two boys with disabilities, both of whom were harshly disciplined by their respective schools for aggressive behavior displayed at school. Due to the extreme behaviors exhibited, the two boys were recommended for expulsion. They were suspended indefinitely, until which time the school district completed the expulsion proceedings. The parents of both boys disagreed with the unilateral decision of the district regarding their exclusion from school and, as a result, filed suit against the district.

According to the IDEA, children with disabilities are legally required to stay in their current “…educational placements pending the completion of any review proceedings unless parents and state or local educational officials agree otherwise” (Honig v. Doe, 2012, Facts of the Case, para. 2). The Supreme Court determined that each boy’s behavior was directly related to their disabilities; therefore, the school board’s decision violated the intent of the IDEA.

Procedural Safeguards and Addressing Procedural Errors

/in /by

Knowing that Destini’s parents have just made their request for an expensive outside agency to provide supplemental reading support for Destini and that they are not satisfied with her current grade of a “C” instead of an “A,” you continue to proceed with the IEP team meeting, hoping that a shared decision-making process results in a mutually agreeable consensus. However, when you hand Destini’s parents a copy of the Procedural Safeguards, they take a minute to quietly review the documents; whispering between themselves. One of Destini’s mothers tells you that she isn’t clear on the purpose of these documents, how it impacts her and her wife, and how it will influence their daughter’s education. She also comments that last year, the educator and assessment representative did not follow each of these items she sees listed on the Procedural Safeguards document.
