Court sides with mis-diagnosed student

A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling against the Atlanta Public Schools for accidentally misdiagnosing a student as mentally retarded. The system must now pay up to $152,000 to send the boy to a private school. Jarron Draper, now 21, was misdiagnosed with mental retardation by the school system in 1998. In 2003, a test showed he actually has dyslexia, a learning disability. Draper's attorneys say the school system was slow to remove him from the restrictive class for mentally disabled students even after the new diagnosis.
