Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether IDEA exhaustion requirement is jurisdictional or a claim-processing rule

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (‘IDEA”) requires, with certain exceptions, the exhaustion of administrative remedies before a judicial challenge under the Act may be brought. Is this exhaustion requirement jurisdictional, or rather, is it a claim-processing rule that must be raised as an affirmative defense that may be waived?
