[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has this family been involved with other lawsuits?[/quote]

They brought an againt against the school concerning their older daughter.  Then they filed a complaint with the DC Human Rights Cimmission about the younger daughter and they subsequently filed this crazy lawsuit.[/quote]

[b]It should be noted that the DCHR complaint resulted in a settlement.  Sidwell's alleged failure to fulfill its obligations under the settlement agreement gave rise to the lawsuit.  Not taking sides here, but it's important to understand the facts, right?[/b]    [/quote]

First, I've defended against DCHR many times -- they PUSH settlements like no other entity I have dealt with.  Cases settle all the time, for all kinds of reasons, mostly related to cost and publicity.

Second, the court of appeals opinion suggests that Sidwell did meet its obligation with regard to the grades issue.  Not sure because I haven't read the whole thing, but I suspect the school agreed to review the grades, and did, but that their review didn't give the result that the student and her parents expected.
