M.B. v. Hamilton Southeastern Schools

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant-School District's motion for summary judgment in IDEA action alleging that defendant denied plaintiff (special education student) free appropriate public education by refusing plaintiff's request for, among other things, placement in full-day kindergarten program, even though plaintiff's expert testified that said placement was necessary due to plaintiff's neurocognitive impairments. Defendant, as well as administrative tribunals, could properly conclude that plaintiff did not require double-session kindergarten placement where plaintiff was making progress towards his IEP goals (which plaintiff's parents helped to develop) while plaintiff was placed in single-session kindergarten program, and where IEP, with said goals, was reasonably calculated to confer educational benefit on plaintiff.
