- A new Second Circuit decision holds that eligibility under the IDEA does not necessarily mean eligibility under Section 504 and its sister statute, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- The Supreme Court agrees to decide two special education cases, with one (Endrew F.) being centrally significant.
- The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which replaces the NCLB Act, introduced some major changes in relation to students with disabilities (e.g., elimination of the “highly qualified” teacher requirement).
