DERBY, Kan. (AP) – A woman who was sued by the state for practicing law without a license is suing the Derby school district because her son was cut from the marching band.

Joan Heffington says in a lawsuit filed this week that the district did not accommodate her 17-year-old son’s special needs, denying his right to an education.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Derby superintendent Craig Wilford and band director Adam DeVault are also named in the lawsuit.

A school district attorney says the district just received the lawsuit and is reviewing it.

Last year, the Kansas Attorney General’s office sued Heffington, claiming she provided legal advice in exchange for donations. She ran for governor in last year’s primary.
