Post-Expulsion Services: Can the United States Department of Education Require Services without Legislative Authority?

Wenkart, Ronald D.

West's Education Law Quarterly, v5 n3 p483-92 Jul 1996

The U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services (OSERS) has stated that school districts must continue to provide services to disabled students after expulsion even when behavior is not related to the child's disability. The OSERS opinion cites no legislative or judicial authority and directly contradicts language in a United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision. (50 footnotes) (Author)
