The court of appeals affirmed a judgment of the district court and remanded. The court held that 20 U.S.C. §1415(j), the “stay put” provision of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, encompassed an autistic student’s appeal from a final district court judgment against him.
Joshua A., an autistic child who attended Rocklin Unified School District, sued the district for failing to provide him a free and appropriate public education pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
