Cedar Rapids Community School Dist. v. Garret F. ex rel. Charlene F., 526 U.S. 66
The Court held that continuous nursing service is a “related service” that the school district is required to provide under the IDEA. This law was put in place to ensure those who needed a nurse throughout the day, would have one. Parents felt the District should accept financial responsibility for the health care services required during the school day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36fZw-zip_A -
