  2. The education of each disabled student with non-disabled students, to the maximum extent appropriate to the needs of the student with a disability.
  3. Nondiscriminatory evaluation and placement procedures established to guard against misclassification or inappropriate placement of students, and a periodic reevaluation of students.
  4. Establishment of procedures that provide due process under the law.
