Preferred term

Mills v. Board of Education of the District of Columbia  

Definition(s)

  • Mills v. Board of Education of District of Columbia (1972) was one of two important federal trial court rulings that helped to lay the foundation that eventually led to the passage of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA), now the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), laws that changed the face of American education. Prior to 1975 and the enactment of these laws, many schools did not offer special education for students with disabilities. [Source: Encyclopedia of Education Law; Mills v. Board of Education of the District of Columbia]
