      "title": "Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garret F.: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Related Services",
      "summary": "The Supreme Court in  Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garret F.  held\nthat the related\nservices provision in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) required the provision\nof certain supportive services for a ventilator dependent child despite arguments from the school\ndistrict concerning the costs of the services. Relying on a previous Supreme Court decision,\n Irving\nIndependent School District v. Tatro,  468 U.S.  883 (1984), the Court in a seven to two\ndecision continued to support the \"bright line\" rule stating that only medical services which must be\nprovided by a physician are not required to be supplied by the school districts. This decision has been\nhailed by disability advocates as a substantial victory for families of children with disabilities while the\nCourt's dissent noted that the decision \"blindsides unwary states with fiscal obligations they could not\nhave anticipated.\" \n  The Court's decision has increased interest in IDEA funding. Amendments have been offered\nto  S. 280 , the Education Flexibility Partnership Act of 1999 to increase IDEA funding.",
