United States Sixth Circuit
Traverse Bay Area Intermediate Sch. Dist. v. Michigan Dep't of Educ., 08-1228
In a school district's suit against various state agencies, for the alleged failure to maintain procedural due process protections in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA), district court's dismissal of plaintiff's amended complaint is affirmed as the IDEA does not provide school districts with an express or implied right to compel state defendants' compliance with section 1415(b)'s procedural safeguards absent an underlying claim that directly involves a disabled child's individual educational program (IEP).
