Quote:

Sandra Day O'Connor, writing for the 6-2 court, said that when parents challenge a program they have the burden in an administrative hearing of showing that the program is insufficient. If schools bring a complaint, the burden rests with them.

I agree with the majority.
I think that if you want to bring a complaint against the school district that you should be able to provide substantial proof that they were unwilling or unable to provide adequate services.
I am glad that the burden of proof issue has been resolved.

In a way, the school and the parents should provide the information. The school should tell the parents the proof that they have that qualifies them for the kind of IEP a special needs student should be given. But in the case of a parent contesting the IEP given, the parent should provide proof as to why another IEP (or a change in certain standards regarding the IEP) is to be given.
