How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that it is a procedural, not substantive, error for an IEP to lack measurable goals
• concluding that “procedural requirements of the IDEA were substantially satisfied” due to “the parents’ active participation in the crafting of [the] IEPs, and the absence of any demonstrable lost educational opportunity”
• noting that “evidence of an academic benefit militates in favor of a finding that [a student’s] IEPs were appropriate”
• analyzing alleged deficiencies in IEPs, including alleged lack of measurable goals, under the Rowley substantive analysis
• standing requires parties to show that a “procedural deficiency resulted in a loss of educational opportunity” or some other IDEA-related harm
• finding IDEA’S procedural requirements were “substantially satisfied” where child’s parent was present at every ARD meeting and his parents “frequently submitted supplemental ‘parent statements’ to express their concerns and frustrations”
