Can a district refuse to provide special education services to a disabled student because the student doesn’t meet the eligibility criteria under IDEA?
No. A district cannot refuse to provide special education services to a disabled student who needs special education services simply because the student doesn’t meet the eligibility criteria under the IDEA. However, as a practical matter, the only disabled students who are likely to need special education services are students who are eligible for special education under IDEA.
