in South. A parent has come to her with a disabled 10th grader who wants to attend one
of the schools in the district. Jonathan the child, has multiple disabilities requiring
quadriplegia, and a seizure disorder. The principal refuses the parents request because
of the high rate to maintain the child at school, and the principal believes that there is
The principal Young is not at fault if this case were to go to court. The Dale M. v.
Board of Education and Bradley Bourbonnais High School case proved that schools do
not have to provide the most services and programs available to students. The student,
in this case, had a serious disciplinary problem for some time and was placed in a
therapeutic day school. The student was jailed and then released and his parents then
placed them in a residential placement and wanted to get reimbursed alleging that only
a residential placement was appropriate. The court found that the “residential placement
was not educationally necessary” so his motion was declined. this will be the same case

Yes, there is laws that schools must provide supplemental services in the regular
classroom, but that does not mean that all students have to attend their neighborhood

services in order to attend special ed classes, was not receiving them so parents sued
the school and won. The court concluded that “CIC related to the effort to educate
because it was a necessary service in order to allow the student to remain in the
classroom”.(Webb 153)If Jonathan needs services that he needs to stay in class, which
he does, he has the right to attend the school and for them to provide the services that
he needs.
Another perfect example that Jonathan has the right to attend that school and the
services he needs has to be provided to him. Cedar Rapids Independent School District
v. Garrett exemplified the quadriplegic students they need one to one nursing services
must have them. The quadriplegic student who was ventilator depend it require the one
to one nurse, but once he entered six-grade school district denied him his service. The
court then ruled that “the school district was required to provide the services under IDEA
as a related service”. (Webb 154) If this student got to his one to one nurse then

Jonathan the education he deserves another school just might. If this were to go to
court Young is protected by law and will win the case without a doubt.
