Without the interpreter in the classroom, Rowley was only able to understand about sixty percent of the learning instruction in the classroom. With this, Rowley is not showing her full potential, one hundred percent, that she is able to achieve with the sign-language interpreter.

Texas Special Education Hearing Officer, Steven R. Aleman found that an LEA who permitted a test booklet to be destroyed violated the IDEA which required the protocol containing personally identifiable information. Student v. McKinney Independent School District; 062-SE-1009; 110 LRP 30531. SEHO Aleman found “without the test protocols, the parents’ ability to participate in the process by exploring the accuracy of the District’s reevaluation and weighing options central to the direction of the educational program are significantly impeded.” The SEHO went on to state “This Hearing Officer finds that the lack of test protocols undermines the credibility of the Petitioner/Counter Respondent’s reevaluation in light of the testimony by the Respondent/Counter Petitioner’s expert that had they been available, they would have been examined… Respondent, therefore, violated the IDEA regulations requiring that information obtained from all evaluation sources be documented.”
