Irvine Unified School District

Irvine, CA: (Feb-08-07) Thomas and Liya Lin filed a claim in November 2006, accusing the Irvine Unified School District employees of coercing the couple into giving more than $100,000 in gifts so their autistic child could receive proper care. The couple claimed that they had to provide teachers, aides, and an administrator at Canyon View Elementary with gifts that included jewelry, gift certificates, rent-free housing, and a family heirloom over a two-year span. District officials settled the claim after the Lins dropped their gift claim and agreed for a cash payout and special education services for their child, Jonathan. The school district will reimburse $80,000 and provide about $75,000 for special education services to the parents. [OC REGISTER: TEACHER GIFTS]
