Problem: Under IDEA, parents must participate in the annual IEP review. Schools must contact the parents about this meeting three times using different modes of communication (e.g. text, letter sent home, and a phone call). In Hawaii, a school followed this protocol, but after the third attempt and the parent does not show up, a decision was made to go ahead with the meeting without the parent. Analyze the court case Doug C. v. Hawaii (9th Cir. 2013) and assess whether the court was justified in its decision. APA 7 Reference
