United States First Circuit

In this case arising out of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), defendant is the mother a disabled child that plaintiff School Committee is responsible for educating. The mother alleges that the School Committee's failure to protect her right to additional evaluations to determine her child's educational needs violated its IDEA obligations. On cross motion, summary judgment in favor of the School Committee is affirmed, where: 1) the Settlement Agreement between both parties relieves the School Committee of any obligation to perform or fund one of the evaluations the mother seeks; and 2) there was insufficient factual support for the mother's other evaluation requests.
