How did Mills v Board of Education of DC change special education?

In: US Constitution, Education, US Supreme Court [Edit categories]

Answer:

Mills v. Board of Education of the District of Columbia, 348 F. Supp 866 (D. DC 1972)

Mills established a much-cited and persuasive, but non-binding, precedent of requiring school districts to provide appropriate educational placement for exceptional-needs children. The opinion was later strengthened by US Supreme Court decisions like Goss v. Lopez, 419 US 565 (1975) and Honig v. Doe, 484 US 305 (1988), among others, which did create binding precedents.
