Extractions: Mediation ... State Law The Legal Resources page contains many links related to laws that govern eligibility, IEPs, evaluations, placement, educational progress, transition plans, discipline, and educational records. These laws may be vitally important to parents of disabled children, educators, child advocates, school psychologists, health care providers, and school administrators. Special education law is more than a legal specialty niche. Parents of children with disabilities often describe their first experience with special education law as entering a confusing labyrinth resulting in uncertainty and bewilderment. Teachers and administrators are overwhelmed with the complexity of regulations and paperwork, fearing that failure to do things perfectly will result in a lawsuit. We hope this section will provide practical and pertinent information necessary to survive and interpret the myriad of rules and regulations surrounding the needs of disabled children.

Extractions: By Peggy A. Burns, Esq. Special needs transportation, governmental immunity and bus stop selection were among the legal issues which focused directly on school transportation in the past year. The cases reviewed here are mainly state court cases and hearing officer decisions. While that means they have no binding impact on the courts of other states, nevertheless, they can be extremely instructive as to how a court might consider a particular issue. In this issue we'll review 10 cases that made it to state courts. Next month's STN will have Part II of the annual Year in Review. Special Needs Transportation Here is a sampling of the special needs cases decided in 2000. The Office for Civil Rights considered a parent's complaint that students in a district's Moderate Intervention Programs (MIPS) were required to ride a school bus with students with severe behavioral and emotional problems. The complaint alleged that the MIPS students were denied FAPE because of the physical and verbal abuse to which they were subjected. OCR found for the parents because the district "failed to implement strategies to ensure the safety of MIPS students."
