Family seeks more than $3M from Henrico School Board, claims violation of federal special ed law

The Henrico County School Board has been served with a request for judicial review following a years-long dispute between school district staff members and the family of a student with disabilities.

The family, which is being represented by attorney Jason Krumbein, claims that its 10-year-old daughter was denied a “free appropriate public education” (FAPE), which school districts are required to provide to students with disabilities under federal law.
