203077P.pdf   12/10/2021  Scott C.  v.  DESE
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-3077
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Erickson and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Attorneys' Fees. The court would not take up the issue raised 
   for the first time on appeal - whether the McKinney-Vento Act provides a 
   private right of action for students experiencing homelessness and their 
   families; in the district court, the State never raised an argument that 
   the students and their mothers lacked a cause of action or that they could 
   not recover attorneys' fees for time spent pursuing the claim; the 
   district court did not abuse its discretion in making the State jointly 
   and severally liable for the attorneys' fees imposed against the district 
   defendants.
