Well, children get special education services and outplacements as required under various laws. The District had a bad reputation for special education, and was probably sued a lot in the past because they were not abiding by the law in this respect. I can imagine that legal fees are a lot more expensive than fees at therapeutic schools - especially if the District loses and is ordered to provide the services or outplacement.

To be honest, you can’t actually get this district to pay attention to you if you don’t sue. I’ve been through this legal wrangling far too many times. I would highly suggest to anyone considering law to go into sped law. There will never not be a need for really good counsel.

You don’t get any state reimbursement on the legal fees!
