Yesterday, the Supreme Court decided, 8-0, in Fry v. Napoleon Community Schools, that families do not have to exhaust remedies under IDEA when rights are fully supported by the ADA and Section 504. This is a huge deal in the special education legal community. It means that families do not need to waste time and money asserting concerns in a forum that can not address their needs before proceeding to a court that can. You can read the entire decision here. A big THANK YOU to this family for bringing their fight all the way to the Supreme Court and sharing their story.
