District failure to properly serve appeal papers results in SRO affirmance of reimbursement award
SRO 09-062 and 09-075: Parents prevailed at hearing on private school reimbursement claim. NYC attorneys served appeal papers on parent’s attorney despite requirment that papers be personally served upon the parent. SRO held that service was improper and thus, refused to consider the district’s appeals.
