Abstract
G.T. v. Board of Education of Kanawha was a class action lawsuit filed against the Kanawha County Board of Education in West Virginia. The lawsuit alleged that the school board failed to provide effective behavior support for students with disabilities. This lack of support, according to the plaintiffs, led to unnecessary disciplinary actions and hindered the students' ability to learn in the least restrictive environment (LRE), which is a requirement under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The plaintiffs in the case were G.T., a student diagnosed with autism and ADHD, and his parents, along with The Arc of West Virginia, an advocacy organization for people with disabilities. They argued that the school board's failure to provide proper behavior plans resulted in G.T. and other students being removed from classrooms, hindering their academic progress.
