Austin ISD settles lawsuit over delayed special ed evaluations, creates fund for affected students - Austin Monitor
Briefly

"Most importantly, AISD has committed to the timely evaluation of students with disabilities and established a $4 million fund to provide compensatory education to students whose evaluations were delayed," said Kym Davis Rogers.
"When the lawsuit was filed in 2021, Disability Rights Texas said at least 800 students had not received an initial evaluation within the time frame required by state and federal law."
"Austin ISD Trustee Kathryn Whitley Chu... said she decided to run for school board in 2022 because she had dealt with the delays firsthand: One of her children had waited nearly a year for an evaluation."
