Decisions

This proceeding arises under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (20 U.S.C. §§ 1400-1482) and Article 89 of the New York State Education Law.  Petitioner (the parent) appeals from the decision of an impartial hearing officer (IHO) which granted respondent's (the district's) motion to dismiss the parent's claims pertaining to her son's educational programs for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years and determined that the educational programs the district's Committee on Special Education (CSE) had recommended for her son for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years were appropriate.  The district cross-appeals from that part of the IHO's decision which ordered it to provide the parent with educational records between the 2018-19 and the 2022-23 school years.  The appeal must be dismissed. The cross-appeal must be sustained.
