Nolver Our district didn't spend miloilns but did spend a ton of money to fight us and then eventually settled. As you so accurately pointed out, in my twins cases there were two very specific incidences where, if the sped director had not been so pig-headed, had not already predetermined all she would provide, had not dug in her heels and drawn lines in the sand (and in these two specific incidences this sped director was NOT following either federal or state laws), had not been so WRONG but so power crazed she couldn't see it, we would not have retained counsel and would not have filed for a DP hearing Actually, if the sped director/district had made ANY attempt to do right by my girls, we also would not have finally fought to outplace them. So, in the end, the district fought for awhile then settled not a very economical way to run a business if you ask me
