1Opinion of the Court

COLLEEN KOLLAR-KOTELLY, United States District Judge

This case is about a disagreement concerning the change in school for a child, Z.B., with autism. Z.B. was attending the nonpublic Kingsbury Day School, but the District of Columbia Public Schools ("DCPS") determined that the proper location of services to implement Z.B.'s Individualized Education Program ("IEP") was another nonpublic school, Kennedy Krieger. Plaintiff has filed this lawsuit claiming that DCPS's decision to change Z.B.'s school was an illegal change in placement and denied him a free and appropriate public education ("FAPE").
