School District Won't Comply with IDEA; Risks State Takeover
BERKELEY, OCT. 11, 2001 -- A federal judge has "very reluctantly" ruled to give the Ravenswood City School District in East Palo Alto, Calif. a final six months to improve its special education program before ordering a state takeover of the district. "The district's noncompliance is the worst I've ever seen," says DREDF attorney Diane Lipton.
