The graphs became evidence in one of our cases. The slide show is being revised and updated. Two weeks ago, we uploaded the Second Circuit's decision in Walzak v. Florida Free Union and the Eleventh Circuit's decision in Weiss v. Hillsborough . Both cases were adverse to the parents. Yet, we included lengthy discussions of both cases in this newsletter.
Adverse decisions teach valuable lessons.
In Walzak , the Second Circuit decided that the public school was providing the child with an appropriate program. After analyzing the child's academic progress, the court concluded that the child benefited from the public school program. If the public school provides an appropriate program, parents are not entitled to be reimbursed for a private program. This week, we added Evans v. Rhinebeck to The Law Library . In this case, the parent asked the court to order reimbursement for her son's education at the Kildonan School.
