FAIRVIEW TOWNSHIP ? The family of a special education student will receive $15,000 from the West Shore School District to settle claims surrounding the child?s education.
The board Thursday night approve the settlement with the family, who wasn?t identified. The settlement was reached as an alternative to issues being litigated through a special education due process hearing, and releases the district from claims made in federal court, officials said.
Thomas Burnheimer, the district?s director of pupil services, said the settlement was warranted from an economic standpoint. The $15,000 payment will be made by the district?s insurance carriers.
The district has settled cases with the families of special education students before. In November 2009, the district paid a family $31,506 as part of an agreement district officials said at the time was not an admission of wrongdoing.
