EACS sued over denial of special ed
An Allen County couple sued East Allen County Schools in federal court, alleging the district violated their son’s rights under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Filed last week by John and Stephanie Thompson on behalf of their son, the lawsuit appeals a decision by the Indiana Board of Special Education Appeals, which upheld the district’s decision not to provide special education for their son before Oct. 7, 2009.
Messages left at East Allen County Schools seeking comment Wednesday were unreturned.
