Summary	A Palm Beach Post investigation of the Palm Beach County School Board revealed that it was "violating federal and state laws in the way they assign special education students to alternative schools.... students were sent without parental notification or approval - a legal requirement. They also kept sloppy records and couldn't prove that many of the children they said were in the program actually attended."
