The Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in A.R. v Connecticut State Board of Education that public school districts in Connecticut are required to provide free educational services to students with disabilities ages 21 and 22 who have not yet earned their diploma. The appellate court argued that if the school district provided free services to non-disabled members of the community of that age range to earn their high school diploma or GED, those same services should be afforded to disabled “adults” as well.
