ENDREW F., A MINOR, BY AND THROUGH HIS PARENTS AND NEXT FRIENDS,

JOSEPH F. ET AL. v. DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT RE–1 . No. 15–

827. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. 11 january 2017.

This case invoves Endrew F, a boy who suffers from autism and receives education from

Douglas County School District since preschool to fourtgrade. Since its diagnosis at age 2,

Autism has caused Endrew to have neurodevelopmental disorder, and impaired social and

communicative skills. It has also caused resistance to change, stereotyped movements and

engagement in repetitive activities. Endrew ehibited many inhibiting activities and behaviour that

deemed disruptive including screaming in class, run away from school during lessons and climb

on top of furniture. By the time he reached fourth grade, Eendrew’s parents observed that his

academic and education progress had slowed down or rather stalled. Although Endrew was

receiving IEP from preschool, the parents refused the formulation of an IEP in fourth grade. This

was mainly because the parents realised that the IEP programs each year involved the same

activities and exercises, a show that they did not give Endrew meaningful development lessons.

They enrolled him in a specialized private school where picked up and made phenomenal

progress. They then filed a complaint to the Colorado Department of Eduication to get

reimbursement for Endrew’s education. As filed under the IDEA, their pleas was declines, which

was affirmed by the Federal District Court and the tenth circuit. The court rules that the IEP

FLORENCE COUNTY SCH. DIST. FOUR v. CARTER, 510 U.S. 7 (1993). No. 91-1523.

U.S. Supreme Court. 6 October 1993.

This case involves Shannon Carter, who was classified as disabled to learn while in ninth

grade in Florence County School District Four. The parents and the officials of the school met

and decided on the formulation of an IEP program to help in boosting her educational needs. The

program was designed such that Shannon would participate in both the regular classes but

combine this with three sessions of individualised coaching per week. The IEP program also

provided four month milestone progress through the entire year. Shannon’s parents were

dissatisfied with the rulling and sought a hearing to ascertain the appropriatenes of the IEP

program. They then enrolled her in a private Trident Academy.

In their suit, they accused the IDEA for failing to give Shannon the required free public

education and also sought funding for the costs incured and tuition fees. The District Court ruled

in favour of the parents, claiming that the IEP program did not meet all the IDEA requirements.

On the other hand, the Court of Appeals rejected the deicsion reached by the District court and

maintained that reimbursement is not allowed when parents choose a private institution that does

not meet all the requirements and approved by the state as a valid educational provider.

However, the court also found that Trident Academy provided the most adequate and excellent

education as compared with the school dirstrict’s IEP program. The court also found that the
