    Holding plaintiffs not required to exhaust administrative remedies before bringing a claim based on the district's failure to implement an IEP

    In Commonwealth v. Nathaniel M., the Massachusetts Appeals Court found that the school's reporting to the police of a juvenile for possession of marijuana in school did not trigger a change in placement under the IDEA. See 764 N.E.2d 883, 886-87 (Mass.App.Ct. 2002). Thus, the scant caselaw available weighs against Plaintiffs' arguments.
