Mr. & Mrs. Anthony Lascari v. Board…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the school district bears the burden of proving that its individualized education program (IEP) is appropriate and, having failed that burden, the parents are entitled to reimbursement for private school tuition but not for room and board. The Court clarified the applicable burden of proof and reimbursement principles under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act.
