104. Inclusion - Legal Requirements And What They Mean To Educators in general Education Setting. Daniel RRv State Board of Education (1989) Greer v. Rome City School District (1990/1991/1992) http://www.uni.edu/coe/inclusion/legal/

Legal Requirements/Court Cases The most current language of the federal mandate concerning inclusive education comes from the 1997 Amendments to the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). These federal regulations include rulings that guide the regulation. The IDEA r equires that children with disabilities be educated in regular education classrooms unless "the nature and severity of the disability is such that education in the regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfac torily." This means that schools have a duty to try to include students with disabilities in the regular general education classes. http://www.ed.gov/offices/OSERS/IDEA/q_and_a.html. The IDEA states: "Each State must establish procedures to assure that, to the maximum extent appropriate, children with disabilities ... are educated with children who are not disabled, and that special education, separate schooling, or other removal of children with disa bilities from the regular educational environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily." 20 U.S.C. 1412(5)(B). Dr. Susan Etscheidt, professor of special education at UNI and one of five Iowa administrative law judges, notes that in one of the first court cases to question the legal interpretation of the 1990 IDEA the Supreme Court said no one is excluded from t his requirements; everyone is entitled to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE).
