Does the Saddleback Valley Unified School District have an obligation to pay attorney fees for attorney fees if they fail to enforce an individualized education program for an emotionally disabled child?

San Francisco Unified School District v. State of California (1982) 131 Cal.App.3d 54, 182 Cal.Rptr. 525, a case the district contends is "strikingly similar" to ours, does not help its position. There, a request for attorney fees was denied on the ground the litigation did not result in the enforcement of an important right affecting the public interest. The appellant, an emotionally handicapped child, was successful in procuring an individualized education program; however, no one else was affected by the outcome. In our case, it is conceivable that other individuals, in the Saddleback Valley Unified School District as well as in other school districts, will be affected by the outcome.
