EC School District<br />
wins Shack lawsuit!<br />
Staff Report<br />
Eagle - Mary Shack’s passionate<br />
attempt to get <strong>the</strong><br />
Eagle County School District<br />
to pay for outside services for<br />
her child ended in failure<br />
March 26th, when<br />
Administrative Law Judge<br />
Laura Broniak ruled that<br />
Shack’s child had received a<br />
Free Appropriate Public<br />
Education (FAPE) and that<br />
<strong>the</strong> school district and<br />
Mountain Board of<br />
Cooperative Educational<br />
Services (BOCES) had not<br />
violated it’s Child Find obligations.<br />
BOCES is <strong>the</strong><br />
Administrative Unit that <strong>the</strong><br />
district works with to provide<br />
services such as speech<br />
and language <strong>the</strong>rapy for<br />
children.<br />
Ms. Shack believed that<br />
<strong>the</strong> district’s form for<br />
requesting an evaluation of<br />
her child should have started<br />
<strong>the</strong> clock ticking o a 60 day<br />
requirement to provide specific<br />
services to her child, but<br />
this form allegedly titled<br />
“Evaluation” wasn’t <strong>the</strong> correct<br />
form she supposedly<br />
needed to apply with, ra<strong>the</strong>r,<br />
it was just a screening form,<br />

“It’s convenient,<br />
picturesque & right<br />
on <strong>the</strong> beach!”<br />
Simone Fodde<br />
even though it allegedly said<br />
“Evaluation.”<br />
Ms. Shack had based her<br />
complaint on 60 days from<br />
signing that form, not a different<br />
form that her husband,<br />
Patrick Shack, later signed<br />
that was also allegedly called<br />
an “Evaluation” form.<br />
Ms. Shack had copied<br />
certain members of <strong>the</strong><br />
school board about her<br />
request for services, but<br />
board President Jeanne<br />
McQueeney admitted to <strong>the</strong><br />
Business Briefs publisher<br />
that <strong>the</strong>y did not respond to<br />
Ms. Shack because <strong>the</strong>y were<br />
only copied in <strong>the</strong> emails,<br />
and that by policy, only she<br />
could respond on <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
behalf, and she chose not to.<br />
Superintendent Sandra<br />
Smyser also chose not to<br />
respond to Ms. Shack.<br />
Judge Broniak ruled that<br />
nei<strong>the</strong>r BOCES nor <strong>the</strong> school<br />
district “committed any violation”<br />
whe<strong>the</strong>r “procedural<br />
or substantive” that “denied<br />
a Free Appropriate Public<br />
Education, and that Ms.<br />
Shack had failed to meet her<br />
burden of proof.<br />
Ms. Shack may appeal<br />
<strong>the</strong> decision, but didn’t return<br />
calls to Business Briefs.<br />
