	HENDRICK HUDSON DIST. BD. OF ED. v. ROWLEY, (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Respondents agree that the Act defines "free appropriate public education," but contend that the statutory definition is not "functional" and thus "offers judges no guidance in their consideration of controversies involving `the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of the child or the provision of a free appropriate public education.'" Brief for Respondents 28.
		The primary responsibility for formulating the education to be accorded a handicapped child, and for choosing the educational method most suitable to the child's needs, was left by the Act to state and local educational agencies in cooperation with the parents or guardian of the child.
		The term as used in reference to educating the handicapped appears to have originated in the PARC decision, where the District Court required that handicapped children be provided with "education and training appropriate to [their] learning capacities." 334 F. Supp., at 1258.

	Individuals with Disabilities Education Act - Background
		This Act was designed to support states and localities in protecting the rights of and meeting the individual needs of infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities and their families in order to improve results for these populations.

		Students must be educated in the least restrictive environment that is consistent with their needs, and should be placed in situations with their non-disabled peers whenever possible.

		I have received complaints from a special education administrator in my district that unscrupulous trial lawyers are manipulating the IDEA process to line their pockets at the expenses of local school districts.
		IDEA may also force local schools to deny children access to the education that best suits their unique needs in order to fulfill the federal command that disabled children be educated `in the least restrictive setting,' which in practice means mainstreaming.
		Thus, the best means of helping disabled children is to empower their parents with the resources to make sure their children receives an education suited to that child's special needs, instead of an education that scarifies that child's best interest on the altar of the `Washington-knows-best' ideology.

		Even the strongest supporters of this measure know as well as I that they are falsely raising the expectations of the groups affected by claiming authorization levels which are excessive and unrealistic.
		Despite my strong support for full educational opportunities for our handicapped children, the funding levels proposed in this bill will simply not be possible if Federal expenditures are to be brought under control and a balanced budget achieved over the next few years.
		Unfortunately, these requirements will remain in effect even though the Congress appropriates far less than the amounts contemplated in S. Fortunately, since the provisions of this bill will not become fully effective until fiscal year 1978, there is time to revise the legislation and come up with a program that is effective and realistic.
