“Tiggergate proves expensive for Napa Valley school district”
Howard Bashman has this post on the How Appealing blog which links to several articles discussing the story:
The San Francisco Chronicle today contains an article that begins, "A Napa Valley middle school’s decision to bar a child from class last winter for wearing a pair of Tigger socks has proved costly. The Napa Valley Unified School District is on the hook for at least $95,000 in lawyers’ fees under a legal settlement announced Thursday between the district and five Napa families who challenged the school’s dress code. That’s enough to pay the salaries of two teachers for a year, but it’s only about a quarter of what the district would have had to pay if it went on to lose the Tiggergate lawsuit instead of settling."
