What happens when a student with a disability graduates high school with a 3.4 GPA but is unable to read? When does an Individualized Education Program provide a Free and Appropriate Education as required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act? Are you ready for another round of special education acronym bingo? We were ready AF. This is the case of William A. v. Clarksville-Montgomery County School System, a case involving whether or not a school failed to provide a free and appropriate public education to a student who graduated without the ability to read. We also discuss the 11th Circuit Court of Appeal's decision that affirmed the Littlejohn v. Leon County case that we covered in Episode 36. That case involved a school creating a support plan for a transgender student without parental involvement. Finally, we reflect on some recent massive layoffs at the U.S. Department of Education.
