US District Court Judge Joseph Cornelius Waddy presided over the case and ruled in favor of the students, finding that they were not given due process prior to expulsion from the school. He ordered the Board to provide public education to all students regardless of the severity or extent of their disability or the availability of funds, with thirty days to provide education to the participants of the Mills class. Additionally, the court required the Board to identify, contact, and provide education to any eligible student who had been previously excluded or expelled by the school system and publicly advertise the policy change.
