Explanation
Answer: A-The 1982 court case Board of Education v. Rowley concerned the case of Amy Rowley, a deaf student. Her parents insisted that she needed an interpreter, rather than the tutor and speech therapist the school had provided. Her academic performance without the interpreter was better than most of the children’s. The judge ruled that the school district was not required to provide additional resources above and beyond those that other children received.
