NAACP, Detroit Branch v. Detroit Police Officers Ass'n

How later courts describe this case

• issue is whether school district’s IEP struck an adequate and appropriate balance, not whether better or worse program existed
• issue is not whether the program preferred by the parents is better but whether the program proposed by the school district "struck an 'adequate and appropriate' balance on the maximum benefit/least restrictive fulcrum"
• “actual educational results are relevant to determining the efficacy of educators’ policy choices.”
