Class Act: Updates in Education Law

Happy New Year!  For the last episode of Season 4, Christina, Lisa, and Miriam discuss emerging case law related to the pandemic.  Did school districts violate federal law by closing buildings in compliance with state orders issued in Spring of 2020?  How do hearing officers and state agencies respond to parents who claim their children have been denied a free appropriate public education when schools moved to remote learning? Is transferring a child to online instruction a change of placement requiring parental consent under the IDEA?  Join us for an initial glimpse into how courts and other decision-makers analyze special education complaints related to the coronavirus pandemic.
