Disability Rights Wisconsin is\u00a0attempting to revive its\u00a0special-education lawsuit against Milwaukee’s public schools, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The suit was filed nearly a dozen years ago on behalf of\u00a0students who charged that they were not provided with special-education services that they should have received.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Basically, Disability Rights on Friday asked\u00a0a full appellate court to consider its case, to review the action of\u00a0a three-judge panel. On Feb. 3 the panel decertified Disability Rights’\u00a011-year-old class action lawsuit, also vacating liability and orders that the Milwaukee school district had previously been directed to follow, according to the Journal Sentinel.<\/p>\r\n

The appellate panel also threw out a 2008 settlement that Disability Rights had reached with the Department of Public Instruction.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Disability Rights last Friday\u00a0 requested that all the judges on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago review the three-judge panel’s decision.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

According to the Journal Sentinel,\u00a0Disability Rights is asking the full Seventh Circuit to re-examine the class-action certification issue and whether or not the state of Wisconsin can require Milwaukee’s schools to “take corrective action to reform special-education services.”<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
