Board of Education V Rowley
The supreme court heard arguments in March and made a decision on this case in June. The school board argued they were doing what the ACT had stated was required and had no need to provide further services then they had offered. The Rowley family thought that she needed a sign language tutor. This was denied by the state and board of education. This was taken to the circuit, the supreme court ruled that the schools must provide these services

School Committee of the Town of Burlington V Department of Education of Massachusetts
The parents of a handicapped student sought reimbursement for having their child in private school for disabled students, due to an inadequate IEP placed by the school. When this was denied it was taken on the court circuit, where the supreme court ruled that since this was necessary for the education of the student and the parents exhausted all other options, reimbursement was necessary under federal law.

Honig V. Doe
Doe and Smith filed grievence against the school district for having them permanently removed due to outbursts and behavior resulting from their disabilities. This violated the "stay-put" provision of the EHA, which states that the school may not remove a student due to outbursts resulting from disability. The court ruled that the school, and board, were in violation and re-affirmed the provision.
