In NC the school superintendent interfered with the IEP process, the district failed to disclose all emails concerning the student to the parent's attorney and unilaterally changed the placement. The school district ended up settling the case for $200,000.
In the another case, pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act and and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, a U. S. District Court jury awarded 2.2 million dollars to the parents because their child was restrained during much of the school day in a chair that was somewhat similar to a "Rifton Chair" in violation of the IEP.
