Request for Another Hearing Filed in Special Education Lawsuit

Minnesota, February 9, 2010

A three-judge panel said in January that Jackie Nelson, the child’s mother, did not have a valid claim against the school district.

The judges said that Nelson should have filed a complaint before she transferred her child to another district. Since she complained later, she no longer had a valid claim to seek compensatory educational services for her child, according to the panel’s opinion filed in January.
