There is no current agreed to GIEP for Carlynton. The district has offered a GIEP but, it has not been agreed to by the parent.

The parent is seeking compensatory education for grade 12 because there is no appropriate GIEP. The parent would like tuition reimbursement for the courses at [Redacted University].
ISSUES:
- Did the Carlynton School District offer an appropriate GIEP for [Student]for the 2007-08 school year?
- Is [Student] entitled to compensatory education?
