Even after finding out about petition created to kill the student, teachers did not notify her parents. School administrators were at fault for not taking any appropriate action against bullying.

STUDENT v. WILLIAM S. HART UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT

The instruments used by school for assessment of student were “technically sound” and IEP team had adequate information to determine the nature of Student’s behaviors and consider whether changes in services were necessary. Hence, school did not fail to assess student in all areas of suspected disability.

School failed to provide any legal authority that relieved it of the responsibility for conducting a thorough cognition assessment. The IEP team did not have sufficient information concerning Student’s needs in the area of language and speech. Hence, mother was substantially impaired in her ability to fully participate in the collaborative IEP process

STUDENT v. GROSSMONT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT

IEP of new school was consistent with IEP offered by previous school.

NPS offered by school was appropriate based on student’s needs. Hence, school was not required to reimburse expenses incurred by parents on placement of student in NPS of their choice.

STUDENT v. SAN BERNARDINO CITY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

Student was properly assessed in all areas of suspected disability as per issues reported by parents and parent’s objections on the assessments were of subjective nature. Hence, school did not deny FAPE to the student in any way.
