"Due process"?

I've googled this phrase and read the definition and given explanation, but I still don't know what it means by itself, not to mention in the context I'm showing below. It's from a powerpoint:

Individual with Disabilities Education Act:

*Zero reject
*Nondiscriminatory testing
*Due process

I know this may be a too general or loaded a question. But can someone explain to me what it means in this context? Thank you so much in advance.

com/dictionary/due%20process 1. a course of formal proceedings (as legal proceedings) carried out regularly and in accordance with established rules and principles —called also procedural due process 2. a judicial requirement that enacted laws may not contain provisions that result in the unfair, arbitrary, or unreasonable treatment of an individual —called also substantive due process I suppose it's talking about the provisions of the Individual with Disabilities Education Act being duly and fairly applied, but beyond that I think it's impossible to be more specific.
