 M.L. v. Federal Way School District (9th Cir. 2004) - Caselaw - Wrightslaw
The FWSD argues in response that it did not violate the procedural requirements of the IDEA that at least one regular education teacher participate in evaluating the factors to be considered in the preparation of an IEP because three members of the team had "significant teaching experience." Appellees' Brief at 15.
Because FWSD violated the procedural requirement of the IDEA that at least one regular education teacher participate in the evaluation of an IEP, we are precluded by the law of this circuit from considering the district court's factual findings regarding the merits of the substantive provisions of the IEP.
The FWSD maintains that the failure to include at least one regular education teacher on the team that developed the IEP is not the type of procedural flaw that would compel us to hold that Appellants were denied their right to a FAPE.

 17 Wn. App. 288, BUTLER v. FEDERAL WAY SCHOOL DIST.
In the call for bids, the defendant school district reserved "the right to reject any and/or all bids, to split awards, and to waive informalities or irregularities in the bids or in the bidding, if the best interests of the District will be served thereby." The plaintiff submitted a bid in timely fashion.
The construction advocated by the school district would not advance the purpose of the statute and would ignore the requirement that bids be rejected "for good cause." We cannot disregard these words of restriction on school boards.
The school district could not, by so specifying in the call for bids, remove the qualifying language present in the statute since it could conduct its bid processes only pursuant to the statute itself.

 AWARES - News Archive
SEATTLE, Washington State, USA: A federal appeals court has affirmed a judge's finding that the Federal Way School District did not violate the rights of a six-year-old autistic boy by failing to put a stop to merciless teasing from other children.
The September 2 ruling means that the district will not have to repay the parents of the boy, identified in court papers only as M.L., for private school costs.
A school's deliberate indifference to teasing would violate that right if "the teasing is so severe that the child can derive no benefit from the services offered by the school," the court held.

 School ignored teasing of child, parents say
The boy in the Federal Way case, M.L., is so severely mentally retarded and autistic that when he tries to talk, he sometimes makes "a harpy kind of scream" sound instead, court records say.
The district also questioned the mother's credibility, pointing to evidence that she was at home sending faxes during a school meeting that she claimed she could not attend.
Disabled children "do have a right to be in school and to be part of their community," and teasing by other children is a form of exclusion, he said.
