Published Jul 16, 2026 · via El Nuevo Día

The Department of Education has requested the court to reduce the daily fine of $11,000 to $1,000 for the lack of adequate Special Education services. The department argues that it has made advancements in providing services to children and young people with disabilities and health conditions, justifying the reduction.

The current fine is paid daily due to the insufficient services provided.
