How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that ADA retaliation claims that “are related to the provision of FAPE under 20 U.S.C. § 1415(b)(6) . . . must be exhausted.”
  • concluding that a case “does not present any of the circumstances warranting the application of the futility exception” because, among other reasons, “the IDEA administrative process is in fact able to provide a suitable remedy for the harms alleged”
  • noting that the IDEA provides the appropriate mechanism where “ ‘both the genesis and the manifestations of the problems are educational’ ”
  • noting that the IDEA applies to actions seeking relief that could be obtained under the IDEA, regardless of the statutory basis of the plaintiffs claims
  • finding that Rehabilitation Act and ADA allegations similar to those alleged in the Complaint “palpably ‘relate’ to the District’s provision of FAPE” to the student
  • stating that failure to exhaust the IDEA’s administrative remedies divests a federal court from asserting subject matter jurisdiction over federal claims
