K Altman Law Responds to Northampton Special Education Hot Mic Scandal

When schools go to war with parents instead of supporting children with disabilities, K Altman Law stands up—protecting rights, dignity, and education access.

DETRIOT, MI, UNITED STATES, April 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- K Altman Law, a national leader in Special Education advocacy, is speaking out following revelations from a Boston Globe article involving Northampton Public Schools administrators disparaging a parent and admitting to failing to deliver federally mandated services for a child with disabilities.

The controversy erupted when the parent, Gaurav Jashnani, obtained a transcript of a recorded IEP meeting in which school staff—believing the recording had ended—called him “a pain in the ass” and discussed going “to war” with him over his efforts to secure accommodations for his child. They also admitted the district was not providing the support the child was legally entitled to receive.

“When a public school chooses to go to war with a parent instead of providing educational support services to a child with disabilities, it violates trust, decency, and the law. We urge parents everywhere not to let fear or intimidation stop them from advocating for their children,”
— Keith Altman, Founder & Lead Attorney, K Altman Law
