Common Name: Daniel R.R. V. State board of Education.
Year: 1989
Proceedings:
1.)  In Daniel R.R. v. State Board of Education, it was determined that the appropriate placement and least restrictive environment for Daniel was not the general education classroom
2.) While it is typically beneficial for students to spend some portion of their day with their peers without disabilities, it is the law that every student be provided with a free and appropriate public education, and when students are not thriving, and certainly when they are not able to participate or master any skills taught in the general education classroom, it is necessary to look into a more restrictive environment where learning can be centered around their diverse and individual needs
What makes this unique:
1.) It was a case where they had to move a kid with a learning disability out of the general classroom because it was not the appropriate setting for them to learn at the best of their abilities.
Implications:
1.) This would benifit the students learnig skills and ability to focus on the task at hand.
2.) This would lower the students exposure to the outside world and what its like not being in a controlled environment.
Pillars of Special Education:
1.) Free and Appropriate- students with disabilities have a right to an education that works for them.
2.) Least restrictive- putting the student in the environment that makes learning the least restrictive for that student.
