HCPSS MPIA Request #2025-089

Requestor
Barb Krupiarz
Requested Information
MPIA response 2025-078 (https://mpia.hcpss.org/requests/2025-078) lists special education settlement/compliance costs for FY2024.

MPIA response 2025-086 (https://mpia.hcpss.org/requests/2025-086) lists payments to entities for FY2024. In that spreadsheet, there are payments to special education parent attorneys presumably from lost legal cases where the school system had to pay the parents' legal costs. The total of that is over $850,000.

I am requesting the document that shows where those funds are paid in the budget because they are not in the response to PIA 2025-078.

I am also requesting all emails from the special education Executive Director, Director, Special Education Compliance staff (2), and the Chief Academic officer from December 11, 2024 to the present with my name in them.
