A New Hope: Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools Opens The Courthouse Doors To Children With Disabilities
Abstract
This article addresses what happens when the exhaustion
requirement for IDEA claims intersects with the exhaustion requirement for
related federal laws. Specifically, compensatory monetary damages are
not available for IDEA violations but are available for violations of
related federal laws. This raises a question: if a plaintiff wants to file a
complaint pursuant only to the related federal laws alleging disability
discrimination and seeking monetary damages for actions that also arguably
violate the IDEA, must the plaintiff exhaust the IDEA administrative
process first?
