...there we stood in the doorway We heard the mission bell and we were thinking to ourselves "This could be heaven or this could be hell" Mirrors on the ceiling The pink champagne on ice. And she said: "We are all just prisoners here of our own device." (Eagles)

The Complaint filed by The Advocacy Center for Persons With Disabilities Against Hillsborough County Public Schools

SPLCenter.org: Hillsborough County Special Education

Read how many incidents there were that allege that HCPS failed to provide related services to these kids over a long period of time.


Read the statistics.


Read the request for remedy, especially the last one. Hillsborough County is supposed to have this in action, as it was the same requested remedy from the first Whitehead trial.

Compliance and professional education is more than a check mark.

If you wonder why there is bad PR for HCPS, just try to get a glimpse of understanding for what this means.
