Schiltz partially grants the students' motion for summary judgment in their suit alleging that the state Department of Education improperly terminated their special-education services prior to their twenty-second birthdays. Prior to an amendment which came into effect this July, a Minnesota statute governing special education services which required the state to provide them only until the July 1 after a disabled child became 21 years old violated students' rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which requires states to provide a free appropriate public education to disabled students "through age 21." Minnesota's adult basic education programs fall under the umbrella of "public education," and thus must be offered to students with disabilities until they reach age 22.
