The "Endrew F." Decision and the Future of IEPs and FAPE
Chovanes, Jacquelyn; Papalia, Anne O.; Bateman, David F.; Yell, Mitchell
Advances in Learning and Behavioral Disabilities
This chapter describes possible effects of the 2017 "Endrew F." Supreme Court decision that raised the "de minimus" standard established in 1982 in "Board of Education of the Hendrick Hudson School District v. Rowley." In Rowley, the court held school districts provided an appropriate education to students with disabilities by demonstrating that students' Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are reasonably calculated to provide some educational benefit. In contrast, the "Endrew F." decision requires IEPs to be reasonably calculated to provide progress that is appropriately ambitious in light of the child's circumstances. The implications of "Endrew F." in the IEP process are delineated, including the importance of meaningful parent involvement; relevant and current statements of present levels of performance; challenging; ambitious and measurable goals; and frequent, systematic progress monitoring used to inform effective instructional changes that maximize student progress toward IEP goals. Finally, the authors discuss ways that "Endrew F." may affect future litigation and that school districts may prepare to avoid possible litigation in the post-"Endrew" era.
