A recent court ruling has left many educators and administrators wondering about the implications for schools that have been found to have violated the rights of students with disabilities. The case of Mirabelli v. Fairfax County School Board has sparked debate about the potential consequences for school districts that fail to provide adequate services for students with special needs. If a school district has been found to have violated the rights of a student under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), would it still be eligible for Quality Incentive (QI) funding? As the education system continues to grapple with the complexities of special education law, this question has significant implications for schools and students alike.


Would a school district that violated Mirabelli still have QI?
