Parents Alleging Educational Harm Must Exhaust Administrative Remedies Under IDEA Before Lawsuit

 

U.S. Supreme Court's eventual decision will provide further guidance as to types of claims under the IDEA.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, as amended (IDEA), is a federal civil rights statute intended to “[e]nsure that all children with disabilities have available to them a free appropriate public education that emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs ... .” If an eligible child’s parents believe their school district or other local educational agency has failed in its statutory obligation to provide the child with a free appropriate public education, the IDEA affords the parents due process rights, allowing them to file a complaint and request an administrative hearing.
