“awarded the school district attorneys fees of 50% of billing.”
This is not quite an award. It’s pulling money from one person to give it to another.
This is why people who actually can’t afford these “awards” can’t take their offenders to court. You can’t really tell in this country if you’ll win no matter how just your cause, and you might end up way worse than you started. The authors of the constitution thought that they resolved this issue, but nah.
