Los Angeles Unified School District, Plaintiff and Appellant v. Michael Garcia, Defendant and Respondent

Summary

The court answered yes to the certified question whether California Education Code section 56041 assigns responsibility for providing special education and related services to an eligible 18-to-22-year-old incarcerated in a county jail. It held that the statute's broad language applies because no other statute assigns responsibility in that setting, and applying section 56041 is consistent with the statutory scheme and does not produce absurd or unworkable results. No separate opinions were provided.
