OPINION
_________________________
SUTTON, Chief Judge. Before us are two questions: Did the Chairman of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission exceed his authority in moving for a remand of a ratemaking
challenge without the support of any other members of the Commission? If not, did the
Commission’s underlying ratemaking decisions sink to the level of arbitrary and capricious
agency action? As to the first question, the Commissioner exceeded his administrative authority.
We accordingly remand the matter to the agency in the first instance to determine what, if
anything, can or should be done about this ultra vires action. Once the agency has had the
opportunity to resolve that point, any interested party may renew the petition for review of the
second question. |

grant of summary judgment to Defendant-Appellee Ohio Association of Public School

OPINION

SUTTON, Chief Judge. As a cooperative federalism program, the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act offers federal funds to participating States in return for providing a
“free appropriate public education” to students with disabilities in preschool, elementary school,
and secondary school. A high school student and his parents contend that the Act’s guarantees
extend to students enrolled full time at Kentucky’s Craft Academy for Excellence in Science and
Mathematics. Located on the campus of Morehead State University, Craft provides an education
in a residential environment with undergraduates and offers classes eligible for high school and
college credit. The district court concluded that the Act does not apply to Craft because the dualcredit classes amounted to a post-secondary rather than secondary school education. We affirm. |

OPINION
_________________________
SUTTON, Chief Judge. In accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act, the Kenton County School District developed an individualized education plan to meet the
learning needs of high school student Jeremy Holland. Under the plan, special education
teachers accompanied Jeremy to several of his classes and offered him behavioral instruction at
the end of the school day. This approach worked until Jeremy’s senior year. At that point, the
family enrolled him as a full-time student at the local community college and claimed that the
Act required the school district to provide the same support and other special education services
there. At issue is whether the Act imposes this obligation on the school district. We hold that it
does not |
