1. Denied entry or continuance in a program of special education appropriate to the child's condition and needs.
2. Placed in a special education program which is inappropriate to the child's condition and needs.
3. Denied educational services because no suitable program of education or related services is maintained.
4. Provided with special education which is insufficient in quantity to satisfy the requirements of law.
5. Assigned to a program of special education when the child is not handicapped.
Notwithstanding section 17A.11, the state board of education shall adopt rules for the appointment of an impartial administrative law judge for special education appeals. The rules shall comply with federal statutes and regulations.
