Disabled girl wins round on ed funds
A family whose quest for special education services was championed a decade ago by President Bill Clinton has taken their latest battle to the federal courts, where a judge gave them a temporary reprieve.
The family of Alba Somoza, 22, says she was cheated out of an education by a school system that gave her a sham diploma. She's suing the city for another two years of services, worth $400,000 a year.
