This book provides an exhaustive presentation of all decisions in special education cases brought under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act hear by the U. S. Court of Appeals for 2020, presented by circuit.
The book reviews all policy documents related to the education of students with disabilities issued by the US Department of Education. This will include Dear Colleague Letters, question and answer documents, and published letters to specific individuals.
This book will provide a guide on how to read a case, a description of how a special education case progresses through the administrative and judicial system, the legal importance of policy documents, and websites for follow-up research related to special education law.
If there is any major federal legislation during the year (e.g., reauthorization of the IDEA, restraint and exclusion legislation) that will also be addressed in this book.
This book will be the comprehensive summary of the year in special education law, and will provide important information to graduate students in education, education administrators, teachers, and practicing attorneys regarding appropriate educational practices for students with disabilities. Additionally, we will follow each section on case law and policy implications for educators. We will be including figures, tables, & checklists.

This book will serve as a valuable resource for novice and veteran special education administrators alike. For the novice, it provides a historical perspective on special education law while also providing a review of current court and agency rulings. For the veteran, it will ensure that special education legal knowledge remains current. -- Julie J. Weatherly, founder, Resolutions in Special Education, Inc.
