How many different ways can the public try to make a point. I hope for the sake of all of the kids, which is what a class action suit is about, that the complainants do not succumb to the smoke and mirrors of "early resolution" or mediation. If the complainants do not make this charge stick with as much power for accountability as they can get, they shouldn't have gone to the trouble. In fact, if they don't nail this one, they will have made it worse for the kids.

When I was the VP and then President of the HCPS Superintendent's Advisory Board on Special Education back in the late 90's, the juvenile justice department back then tried valiantly to make the point that Hillsborough was arresting ESE kids far more than other districts, and "dumping" them on the juvenile justice system.

I hope some good comes out of this instead of the standard "isolated-incident and broad-brush-attack defense" winning again.
