For the first time in more than three decades, the U.S. Supreme Court says it will consider how much educational benefit schools must provide students receiving services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.  The nation’s high court said Thursday that it will hear arguments in a matter known as Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District.  At issue is the IDEA’s mandate that public schools provide children with disabilities a free appropriate public education, or FAPE.
