• A. 2017.
• B. 1982.
• C. 1972.

Answer: (A)

Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District is a landmark Supreme Court case about the level of educational benefit required under IDEA. The decision was issued in 2017. The Court held that to meet FAPE, an IEP must be reasonably calculated to enable a child to make progress appropriate in light of the child’s circumstances, and that districts cannot settle for only minimal or de minimis progress. This establishes a higher expectation for meaningful progress and individualized planning. The other years listed do not match this decision year.
