As some of you might there was a lot of publicity regarding my daughter's case. We filed for due process a year ago. We had our due process hearings last March. We received our verdict in May. The school district appealed in June and refused to provide CART while the appeal was going through. Our attorney was able to show the district a case where they had to provide what the first judge while the case was in the appeal level. At the first federal hearing, the federal judge asked the school district why they were appealing. The school district said they thought it was an unfair verdict. The federal judge ordered us to mediate in October and told the school district that they better have a better reason then unfair if they thought he was going to overturn another judge's order. In early October our attorney remained the school district that we needed to mediate by the end of the month. The school district said that they did not want to mediate since we were not to going to be agreeing with anything. Our attorney said that we did not agree to not mediate and that he will tell the federal judge that we wanted to mediate and they did not. Less then 24 hours later the school district said that they were dropping the appeal.
