This morning the United States Supreme Court denied a petition to review the decision of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in the Luke P. v. Thompson School District case.
Today's ruling lets stand the Tenth Circuit's holding that the standard of review for an individualized education program (IEP) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is that the IEP must be reasonably calculated to provide some educational benefit, and that schools are not responsible for insuring generalization of skills beyond the school environment.
