In Re: Evan & Belmont Public Schools (BSEA #25-11078) — Decision 8/19/2025

📢 BSEA Decision Update
In Evan v. Belmont Public Schools (BSEA #25-11078), the Hearing Officer ruled that Belmont’s IEPs for 2024–25 and 2025–26 were reasonably calculated to provide FAPE in the least restrictive environment. Parents’ request for reimbursement for unilateral placement at Carroll School was denied. The case highlights how progress data and “snapshot in time” standards weigh heavily in FAPE determinations.
