School District VS TA (2009) - Answer>>>: Overview: Coping with

Ruling: The de minimis standard was rejected unanimously affirming that
receiving basic, or some benefit of education, was not satisfactory nor an
acceptable rationale by the school district. IDEA expects that students can be
integrated into a regular classroom and are expected to advance like other
students.
Impact: The court affirmed that the intent of IDEA is for students with
disabilities to make meaningful progress and meet appropriately ambitious
goals. IEPs must be reasonably calculated to the student's needs and
circumstance.

FERPA provides procedures for parents and students over the age of 18 to
correct educational records they feel are not accurate. Parents and students
over the age of 18 have the right to view these records. School districts must
comply with a request by a parent or student over the age of 18 within a
reasonable amount of time. A reasonable amount of time is usually considered
to be 45 days or less after the request for records.
