[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does it take so long to reach a decision. How does this play out? [/quote]

I'm not a special needs parent, I'm a lawyer. The decisions take a long time because the drafter of the majority opinion sends around their draft, the drafter of the dissent sends around their draft, and they can all change their votes depending on the opinion's language, or they can write concurring or dissenting opinions themselves. All of the decisions are handed down in the final week of the session in June because it takes a lot of time and arguing to formulate the full opinion/dissent package.

It's really frustrating, I hope the majority sides with the kids in this one. We need more resources toward education, not fewer (all types of education, not just SN, just all the way around we need to put our money where our mouths are and fund education).[/quote]

Thank you for explaining this. Thank you also for your support. We have some people post here who are not SN parents and often they share resentment. It's so refreshing to have someone on our side who didn't need to walk in our shoes in order to understand why this is so important.[/quote]

No problem - I'm rooting for you and your kids. My fingers are crossed for this case, I haven't read the whole oral argument transcript, but I think the odds are decent for a good decision.[/quote]
