Warren County Educational Service Center

Disability Rights Ohio has filed a class action federal lawsuit against the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce over its handling of its investigation into special education at the Warren County Education Service Center.

With the injunction in place, the Educational Service Center — which operates programs for students with specialized needs — isn't required to follow the state's plan and can operate as usual while the legal battle continues.

The advocacy group Disability Rights Ohio has filed a complaint against the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, claiming it didn't follow through on its promise to provide adequate special education to students at the Warren County Educational Service Center in Lebanon.
