Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garret F.
A 5 page paper discussing this case in which the Supreme Court ruled that a ventilator-dependent student should be attended by a school-provided nurse for the entire time the student is at school. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires school districts to provide related services but not direct medical services aside from those required for disability diagnosis and evaluation. The Supreme Court ruled that full-time and continuous attendance by a nurse was not medical service, but rather qualified as a “related service.” Bibliography lists 3 sources.
