Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: False

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Answer should include: Courts are tasked with interpreting the law and providing recourse to those whose rights have been violated; the Civil Rights movement set a precedent of using the courts to establish educational rights (such as in Brown v. Board of Education); courts have repeatedly upheld the right of students with exceptionalities to have a free and appropriate public education - what that FAPE looks like has been the subject of further rulings; courts have also repeatedly upheld the rights of parents to be involved in their child's access to a FAPE including participation in the IEP process
