Description
Ricky Breen is a learning disabled teenager. In February 1994, Ricky was attending public middle school in St. Charles, Missouri. School officials and Rickys parents were involved in developing a new individualized education program (IEP) for Ricky when a controlled substance was found in his school locker. The IEP team shifted its attention to this problem. It determined that Rickys possession of the controlled substance was a manifestation of his disability. Alternative discipline was therefore imposed, and the team continued its work on a revised IEP. Before a new IEP was implemented, Rickys parents enrolled him in a private school and requested a due process hearing under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 20 U.S.C. §Â§ 1400 et seq., seeking reimbursement of his private school tuition on the ground that public school officials had failed to provide him a free appropriate public education. See 20 U.S.C. § 1415; Mo. Rev. Stat. § 162.961.
