- Did you know?
- In many states home schools are considered private educational placements
so some IDEA services may still be available from the local school district?
U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
HOOKS v CLARK COUNTY
SCHOOL DISTRICT
9817271
Affirming a judgment of the district court in part, the court of appeals
held that under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), states have
discretion in determining whether lawful home education constitutes an
IDEA-qualified "private school."
