[quote=Anonymous]This is the case, it isn't a disability-specific case but encompasses students with IEPs and English learner students. The Supreme Court has ruled that there is no constitutional right to education, but has also suggested that the free public education offered to students might be so lacking as to violate the rights of students, so this case is trying to establish what education students are entitled to.

I think class actions would be a great topic to post on the Kids with special needs board. It's my understanding that there are usually a few of these cases in different states at any given time, but I'm not sure how successful they are, or even if they win, whether they result in better services and better access to services. My home district was also under investigation by the Dept of Justice because of the failure to provide adequate services to English learners and failure to inform families of their rights to services. The DOJ and district settled, but actual changes seem really slow. In any case, I think it would be great if you post in special needs because I think this would be a really useful topic for discussion! [/quote]
