United States Eighth Circuit
Lathrop R-II Sch. Dist. v. Gray, 09-3428
In plaintiff's appeal from the district court's reversal of the decision of an administrative panel in an Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) action, the order is affirmed where: 1) since plaintiff's son's individualized education plans (IEPs) did contain detailed behavioral interventions, and the IDEA did not require behavioral improvement, the panel erred in basing its conclusion on behavioral deficiencies; and 2) even if there were a technical violation regarding the requirement to schedule a meeting at a "mutually agreed upon" location, 34 C.F.R. section 300.345(a)(2), it did not affect the IEPs or otherwise deprive the child of educational benefit.
