Coleman v. Brown

Coleman v. Brown is a legal case addressing the inequalities in California's public special education system. It argues that students with disabilities did not receive the free and appropriate education they were entitled to under federal law, due to underfunding, inadequate services, and poor program implementation. The case led to a court-ordered plan to improve conditions and ensure that students with disabilities receive proper educational resources, services, and support consistent with legal standards, aiming to close the gap between these students' needs and the education they received.
