Case in Point: A Special Education Lawsuit: Catalyst for Positive Systemic Change? Maybe. Maybe Not.
Amos, Gayle V.
Journal of Special Education Leadership, v16 n1 p55-57 May 2003
A special education lawsuit against the Baltimore City Public School System resulted in a consent decree that evolved into a systemwide management plan. By 1997, the system collapsed and a city-state partnership integrated special and regular education. The focus on outcomes for court disengagement instead of student outcomes is discussed. (CR)
