Study Notes
Board of Education v. Rowley (1982)
- The Supreme Court ruled that a New York public school provided a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) to a deaf student, despite not providing a sign-language interpreter.
- The school's decision was based on the student's academic performance and progress, which demonstrated that she did not need an interpreter.
- The Court determined that the school was not responsible for providing a maximally beneficial education, but rather a FAPE that could be achieved even if the instruction provided only some educational benefit.
Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District (2017)
- The Supreme Court case sought to clarify the level of educational benefit required to provide a FAPE to children with disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
- The Court rejected the 10th circuit's ruling that schools only had to provide a trivial benefit to the child.
- Instead, the Court ruled that educational programs must be appropriately ambitious in light of each child's circumstances and must have challenging objectives.
Proposition 227 (California, 1998)
- A ballot measure outlawed bilingual education in California, making it illegal for teachers to speak Spanish in California public schools.
- This measure was backed by Ron Unz.
Reversal of Proposition 227 (2016)
- California voters were poised to reverse the ban on bilingual education nearly 20 years after its implementation.
- A statewide ballot question aimed to end the restrictions of Proposition 227 and bring an end to California's official era of English-only instruction.
