A hearing officer with the Utah State Board of Education found that the Davis School District violated a student’s right to Free Appropriate Public Education

CLEARFIELD, Utah — , which is a legal right for children with disabilities that requires schools to meet individual special education needs for each student.

In November of last year, a 14-year-old North Davis Jr. High school student with a variety of behavioral and mental health issues, including disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, met with a school counselor. "They didn’t want to hear our side, they didn’t want to talk to us, they immediately put a label on our son. And he has a hard enough time as it is, and they were just condemning him even more," said Barbara Moulder.

The district says it will continue working on balancing the rights of a student and the rights of school safety.
