Winning at various levels of the court, the case of Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garrett F. eventually reached the Supreme Court. The Court's decree that the school district must fund the related services necessary which guarantee students like Garrett are integrated into the public school system has provided a much needed interpretation of the intention of the law and has additionally determined some of its elements. Medical care was defined by the U.S. Supreme Court as being care that can only be provided by a physician. In summary, schools are required by law to provide health care support for students who need it as long as that support is not medical in nature and not performed by doctors. The Department of Education does offer some technical assistance to school systems on how to tap into available federal funding for in-school care, but it is ultimately the state's responsibility to acquire it and disburse it, thereby ensuring students with disabilities access to a free and an appropriate education.
