More lawsuits for Brooklyn charter accused of mistreating disabled students?
Parents: School piled on the punishments for autistic, ADHD kids
A lawsuit related to the treatment of learning-disabled children attending the Achievement First Crown Heights charter school may expand to include other Brooklyn schools in the network, according to the nonprofit New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG).
NYLAG, along with Jenner & Block, filed a lawsuit on Thursday on behalf of five parents of children attending Achievement First Crown Heights.
“We’ve heard from parents in multiple schools in the Achievement First network,” Michelle Movahed, a senior attorney in NYLAG’s Special Litigation Unit, told the Brooklyn Eagle on Friday.
