Educational placement definition
Educational placement means the overall instructional setting in which the student receives his education including the special education and related services provided. Each local educational agency shall ensure that the parents of a child with a disability are members of the group that makes decisions on the educational placement of their child. (34 CFR 300.327)
Educational placement means educational program, not the particular institution where that program is implemented.” White v. Ascension Parish School Board, 343 F.3d 373 (5th Cir. 2003), 39 IDELR 182.

Educational placement as used in IDEA, means the educational program, not the particular institution where the program is implemented. White v. Ascension Parish School Board, 343 F.3d 373, 379 (5th Cir. 2003) (citations omitted); see also, A.K. v. Alexandria City School Board, 484 F.3d 672, 680 (4th Cir. 2007) (citing AW v. Fairfax County School Board, 372 F.3d 674, 676 (4th Cir. 2004)). In resolving the question of whether a school district has offered a FAPE, the focus is on the adequacy of the school district’s proposed program. See Gregory K v. Longview School District (9th Cir. 1987) 811 F.2d 1307, 1314. For a school district’s offer of special education services to a disabled pupil to constitute a FAPE under the IDEA, a school district’s offer of educational services and/or placement must be designed to meet the student’s unique needs, comport with the student’s IEP, and be reasonably calculated to provide the pupil with some educational benefit in the least restrictive environment.
