OPINION OF THE COURT

NYGAARD, Circuit Judge.

In this case, filed under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 20 U.S.C. §§ 1400-1490, the Scranton School District appeals from an order granting attorneys’ fees to the parents of Daniel S. under § 1415(i)(3)(B) of the Act. The School District argues that the meeting for which attorneys’ fees were awarded was not “convened as a result of an administrative proceeding or judicial action,” and that the fee award was thus barred by the Act. We disagree, and will affirm the District Court’s order.
