		<description><![CDATA[Due Process&#8230; Day 1 We filed for Due Process against Portland Public Schools on 12/11/2000. Joseph had attended 3 different High Schools here in less than 1 year, and had yet to receive any real education. We decided to represent him ourselves as we were clear on how he’d been denied a free appropriate public [...]]]></description>

He transferred to Grant High in October, not November. Grant High Joseph started at Grant High on October 18th, 2000. We had a good feeling about this change.
