A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that a deaf student can sue his school for its failure to provide him a public education tailored to his needs. Because the decision allows for the possibility of two separate lawsuits, it could give parents more leverage in negotiating with public schools over assistance for children with disabilities.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."But Perez wanted compensation for past damages — loss of income and emotional distress. He sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which bars discrimination against people with disabilities. That was the technical question before the Supreme Court: whether he could sue for past damages under a different statute.
Writing for the unanimous court, Justice Neil Gorsuch said the answer was yes, he could."

Good for him. My experience with the "free and appropriate education" standard in my school district ended up being an aide that was nothing more than a baby-sitter (which is why we home school now).
