Another Withering Decision.

Zirkel, Perry A.

Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n2 p171-72 Oct 1996

Summarizes a case involving a district's alleged violation of a neurologically impaired student's rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Rehabilitation Act (Section 504). The Third Circuit Court ruled that IDEA's "stay-put" rule did not excuse the district from developing a timely individualized education plan. Liability implications for districts are discussed.
