Tipping the Scales.
Overview & Synopsis
From the 1940s to the 1970s, the numbers and outcomes of court decisions escalated dramatically in favor of students, employees, and other individuals suing school districts. Today, the overall trend of education litigation favors school officials. The single exception is the category for special education. Since passage of the original special education legislation in 1975, the number of special education lawsuits has increased six-fold. (MLH)
