School's Behaving Badly

. Ed.gov
By going to http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/howto.html anyone who considers an education agency, elementary, secondary, high school, colleges, university, vocational schools and more, is not following the law by discriminating against them based on the basis of race, color, nation­al origin, sex, disability and age, can file a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights.

2. The Center for Public Education
http://www.centerforpubliceducation.org/site/c.kjJXJ5MPIwE/b.1537265/k.C55/The_law_and_its_influence_on_public_school_districts_An_overview.htm
Provides a write up on what the law means on public schools, the common questions asked, the common recent court cases, the Constitution Amendments that influence school decisions and actions among other legal matters.

3. I went ahead and found some recent special education news and suits brought abut by parents to different schools district in different states due to schools misconduct with special education students:
