Professional Practices Court Case Research When researching your court cases, please answer the following questions about each case: 1. Name of the law or course case. Florence County School District Four v. Carter 2. Year the law was enacted or course case. 1993 3. What did the law address? Or Why was the court case filed? Shannon Carter, a student in Petitioner Public School District, was classified as learning disabled, school officials met with her parents to formulate an individualized education program (IEP), as required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.   Shannon's parents requested a hearing to challenge the proposed IEP's appropriateness. In the meantime, Shannon's parents enrolled her in Trident Academy, a private school specializing in educating children with disabilities. After the state and local educational authorities concluded that the IEP was adequate, Shannon's parents filed this suit, claiming that the school district had breached its duty under IDEA to provide Shannon with a "free appropriate public education," and seeking reimbursement for tuition and other costs incurred at Trident.   4. If a court case, what was the court’s decision   The District Court ruled in the parents' favor, holding that the proposed IEP violated IDEA, and that the education Shannon received at Trident was "appropriate" and in substantial compliance with IDEA's substantive requirements, even though the school did not comply with all of the Act's procedures. In affirming, the Court of Appeals rejected the school district's argument that reimbursement is never proper when the parents choose a private school that is not approved by the State or that does not comply with all of the requirements of. 5. How did the law or court decision impact children with disabilities in the U.S.? This law impacted children with disabilities by enforcing they can have free appropriate public education. 6.

Has it been amended or reauthorized? Yes the law is still in effect today IDEA 8. What do you think about the law or court case?
I am not a huge fan of private or charter schools, I don’t agree with the case I don’t think we should take public money away from public education, I do think that the parents have a right to I send their child where they want, and they choose private education and that is their right, but again public money should not be used for private education vouchers.
