This document provides a summary of recent legal updates in special education law, including new case law rulings and proposed legislation. Key points include: - A district was found to have denied FAPE by delaying assessments for 18 months after a parent's referral and failing to develop adequate IEP goals and baselines. - A district's duty to update an expired IEP is not contingent on parental cooperation, and the district should have continued working with parents or filed for a due process hearing. - A principal was disciplined for sending inappropriate text messages about a student during an IEP meeting. - Parents were not entitled to reimbursement for a residential placement where the primary purpose was to address medical needs
