Class action suits ...One thing I forgot to mention. Class action suits are hard to file. Many parents do not want to get their district angry because of retaliation. I know we are told that district's cannot retaliate. But there is no law that stops them form doing it anyway. Then we have to argue after the damage has been done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691205078500083881.post-11540908535229235512008-10-30T18:41:00.000-04:002008-10-30T18:41:00.000-04:00Sad but true.

Now I have to work on changing them.<BR/><BR/>The truth though is that parents do not sue the districts because they cannot find lawyers to help represent them. The lawyers I have talked to refused to help me with a my two due process hearings because there is no money in it.<BR/><BR/>I was told that IDEA may be coming up for reauthorization in two years. WE need to get it changed so that it will help students get an education and enable parents the right to fight for their children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691205078500083881.post-14498787489248142592008-10-29T15:51:00.000-04:002008-10-29T15:51:00.000-04:00Thanks Jeremy,Jim GerlThanks Jeremy,<BR/><BR/>Jim GerlJim Gerlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12482331907215552507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1691205078500083881.post-50832120463496300812008-10-29T07:40:00.000-04:002008-10-29T07:40:00.000-04:00Read this article when you get a chance...pretty i...Read this article when you get a chance...pretty interesting stuff.
