According to Rowley vs Board of Education, what level of education must public schools provide?

The Rowley v. Board of Education case established important legal precedents regarding the education of students with disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The Supreme Court held that schools are required to provide an "adequate" education, which ensures that students with disabilities have a meaningful opportunity to achieve educational benefits. This standard does not necessitate that schools provide the “best” education possible, nor does it imply a requirement for advanced placement programs or entirely equal opportunities compared to their peers without disabilities, though those factors can be part of providing a fair education. Instead, the focus is on meeting the individual needs of the student to ensure they can access a standard curriculum and make progress. This ruling underscores the importance of offering appropriate resources and support to enable students to succeed, thereby defining adequacy in educational services.
