H.C.P.A. Spells Higher Legal Costs for Schools.

Dietrich, Curtis R.

American School Board Journal, v175 n1 p32,39 Jan 1988

Under the new Handicapped Children's Protection Act (1986), school systems could now be liable for present and past attorney fees associated with successful special education claims resolved in court or at the administrative level. Districts should weigh the cost of agreeing early against those of losing later. (MLH)
