United States Ninth Circuit

The district court's order upholding the California Office of Administrative Hearing's partial denial of reimbursement for plaintiff-student's educational costs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, is: 1) reversed in part, where the student was entitled to reimbursement for the cost of tuition at a private school because defendant-school districts denied her a free appropriate public education when they failed to comply with a previous settlement agreement's assessment requirements, and the private placement was appropriate; 2) reversed in part, where plaintiff-student was entitled to reimbursement for transportation expenses; but 3) affirmed in part, where the district court did not err in partially rejecting reimbursement for the cost of private aides.
