A big 9th Circuit win for parents of kids with IEPs (individualized education protocols) came down recently, and the prevailing attorney is podcast alum Tim Adams.
In the first of this two-part discussion, we set the table to discuss Irvine Unified School District v. Landers and Gagliano. For example, to understand why parents trying to help their dyslexic daughter needed to make a federal case out of it, you should know:
💵 The school district spent over $1.13 million on its attorneys (at hourly rates up to $1300!).
🥼 The hearings in these cases are often a “trial by experts.”
🙈 IEPs are a constitutional right, so school districts are not legally permitted to consider their costs—but obviously they do. So how does that work?
⚔️ Parents wrongfully denied an adequate IEP have no recourse but to get their children the resources they need—out of pocket—and then fight for reimbursement.
