Endrew F. v. Douglas City School District
1 hour, 7 minutesThe Supreme Court unanimously ruled that schools must provide more than just the minimum in educational programs for disabled students. The Court held that schools must provide educational programs that are "reasonably calculated" to enable the child to make progress. The court's decision, which impacts over 6 million students, rejected a lower educational standard set by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch. In a different 2008 case, Judge Gorsuch held that the law required a program "merely more than de minimis." Chief Justice John Roberts in his opinion for the Court wrote, "When all is said and done, a student offered an educational program providing 'merely more than de minimis' progress from year to year can hardly be said to have been offered an education at all. For children with disabilities, receiving instruction that aims so low would be tantamount to sitting idly awaiting the time when they were old enough to drop out." Endr
