[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 51555, member: 23"] I doubt this article contains all pertinent facts, but the judge's comments [B]"it is not a case where the school has made token gestures for a short period of time and has simply decided the student is too much trouble"[/B] is very telling for me: 1 - the judge recognizes that short-term token gestures are too often the norm, and 2 - this is not the case in this instance. In this case, the student apparently needs more services and specially-trained personnel than this particular campus can provide. I don't read the article to mean that services are being denied; rather that they need to be provided at a better equipped facility. I think parents sometimes get confused regarding "placement." "Placement" is not necessarily a particular campus (place), rather it's the services outlined in the IEP which are to be delivered in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). Often this scenario is reversed; for instance, with parents wanting a more restrictive environment (as perceived by the sd) such as an Learning Disability (LD) school, autism school, Residential Treatment Center (RTC), etc., and the sd refusing preferring to mainstream with-Special Education supports. Based on the info provided in the article, in my opinion, this ruling has no legal adverse effect (except psychologically) because it doesn't change anything, e.g., LRE should be determined based on the unique needs of each student. I agree. [/QUOTE]
