Hulse Wins Significant Decision Before PA Special Education Hearing Officer
Heather Hulse, Esquire of the Scranton office of McAndrews Law Offices, P.C. recently won a significant decision before a Pennsylvania Special Education Hearing Officer. In this case, the Hearing Officer decided that the student had been denied a free appropriate public education by a school district in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and awarded a significant number of compensatory education hours to remediate the child’s special needs as a result of the loss of proper educational programming. Significantly, the award mandated that the child’s parents may select the form and service providers for the compensatory education, and the award and order indicated that the allowable costs of these services would total the salaries and related costs to the school district of the faculty which should have provided the services in the first instance. McAndrews Law Offices, P.C. thanks Heather for her hard work on this case, and looks forward to the family’s use of compensatory education services to develop meaningful educational progress for our client
