Gellerman

MEMORANDUM *

Joseph Gellerman, by and through his mother Jeffie Gellerman, appeals the district court’s decision holding that the Calaveras Unified School District (“School District”) provided Joseph with a “free appropriate public education” as required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA,” or the “Act”), 20 U.S.C. § 1400 , et seq. We affirm. We also deny the Gellermans’ motion to supplement the record.

Because the facts are familiar to the parties, we recount them only as necessary to explain our decision.

*30 A. Procedural Matters

The district court appropriately and thoroughly weighed the competing concerns identified in Ojai Unified Sch. Dist. v. Jackson, 4 F.3d 1467, 1472-73 (9th Cir.1993), regarding the admission of supplemental evidence, and acted well within its discretion.
