O. et al v. Bureau Of Special Education Appeals Of Massachusetts, The et al

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS

MASSACHUSETTS BUREAU OF SPECIAL EDUCATION APPEALS and

THE DENNIS-YARMOUTH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT ORDER OF JUDGMENT

After issuing its decision on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment, the court offered them an opportunity to agree on a compensatory sum to be paid to with respect to the FAPE violation that occurred between May and June of 2014, when the Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District (the District) failed to provide “specialized instruction in reading and writing by a qualified individual” to Katelin O. July 20, 2018 Order at 14 (Dkt #45). The District made an initial offer to plaintiffs in the form of six weeks of remedial tutoring and, when no response was forthcoming, followed with a proposal to make a payment of $1,200 to plaintiffs.[1] Again, plaintiffs did not 2 reply. The court assumes, for whatever reason(s), plaintiffs are no longer pursuing this aspect of their case. Accordingly, judgment enters for defendants on this remaining issue.

SO ORDERED.
