(Up to 25 points for each) Electronic Media/Commentary: Substantive electronic media/Internet article(s), that address any primary authority governing your legal issue (i.e., a statute, or multipage case with a Courts decision). (Up to 5 points for each) Topic: Who Is the Parent Under IDEA? Educational Decision-Making Authority for Children in Foster Care This topic considers the legal issues of the educational decision-making rights of children in foster care under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). IDEA requires a legally established parent to be included in the process of making decisions related to the evaluations, eligibility, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and a placement. In the case of foster children, though, the role of the correct decision-maker is usually in doubt because of the presence of both the biological parents, foster parent, child welfare agencies, courts, and court-appointed guardians. The federal regulations allow the use of surrogate parents, but there is often a delay and inconsistent application. The effect of this ambiguity is often delayed appraisals, inadequate development of IEP and disruption of special education services. Consequently, there is a higher likelihood of foster youth with disabilities being deprived of their statutory entitlement to Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), especially at times when parents are in the process of litigation over their rights to child custody. The relevance of this problem is that the unequal treatment of foster youth compared to other jurisdictions is the result of differing interpretations of the definition of parent in IDEA. The rankings of the rights of the biological parents and the practical educational needs of the state-held children are different in courts and states.

This week, you will begin the research process for your chosen topic. Each entry/citation should have a summary (minimum of 100 words) written in your own words (you cannot copy and paste information from the article, you need to paraphrase the article). Think about how you might use the information from each soure as you research your topic. Again, make sure you develop the annotations (fancy word for “notes”) in your own words. Please notice the format for EACH source follows the following pattern: 1) APA citation 2) MLA citation 3) Annotation By the time you begin your research essay, you will have at least six (6) sources in your annotated bibliography. Each entry should be listed in ALPHABETICAL ORDER, DOUBLESPACED, and left-aligned with the “hanging” indent added. You should make sure that your font size, style, and color are all the same throughout your document. Topic – (Crime and Law)

Radar notices that Liz has a pile of Apple iphone boxes in her front passenger seat and on the floor of the front passenger side. When asked why she had so many phones, Liz mumbled something unintelligible. When asked if she had a receipt for the phones, she said no. Believing Liz was in possession of stolen phones, Off. Radar ordered Liz out of the car, handcuffed her and had her sit on a curb while he searched the interior of Liz’s car. Liz was later arrested for possession of stolen property and challenged the search of the car.

1. Will Liz be successful in her challenge to the search of her car? If so, why? If not, why not?
