AIDS Infected Brothers Win $1.1 Million Suit Against School
In Tampa, a civil rights settlement with DeSoto County School District fines officials for barring three AIDS infected brothers from class. Judge Elizabeth Kovachevich approved terms: each boy $820 monthly for 10 years, parents about $300 monthly for 30 years, plus a $50,000 upfront payment. If a brother dies, remaining sums adjust. The case stems from arson and school uproar surrounding the family.
