To pursue a reversal Jeffrey's parents will need to hire an attorney and take the SB to court. This is a very expensive proposition and with another child in college, they may not be able to swing it. They could definitely benefit from the services of a local attorney that wants to do some pro-bono work. Cindy has contacted the ACLU and they have responded with an indication that they may come to her rescue, but there are no promises at this point. This is the real tragedy of these cases.
Justice is too expensive for the average family.
An arrogant self righteous school board can get away with trampling on the rights of kids and parents with the smug knowledge that they probably can't afford to do anything about it. These are not the principles this country was based on. The hearing is regarding special education laws that the school has broken concerning Jeffrey's education. Jeffrey was out of school for approximately 23 school days before the superintendent referred him to be placed in an alternative school. A special education student can't be out of school for over 10 school days in one school year without being given services to continue their education.
