On November 16 and 21, 2007, the Department of Public Instruction received a complaint under state and federal special education law from XXXXX against the Rice Lake Area School District. This is the department’s decision regarding that complaint. The issues are whether the district, during the 2007-2008 school year properly implemented a student’s individualized education program (IEP) regarding the use of a sensory room and other sensory techniques; and improperly restrained the student.
