Girl sues school district under ada to bring her service dog to school

Posted June 29th, 2016 - Under Americans with Disabilities Act, Constitutional Law, Disability Law, Education Law, Recent News, United States Supreme Court

How much is that doggie in the window/school? The United States Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of a 12 year old girl from Jackson, Michigan who has cerebral palsy. The girl sued the Jackson school district under the Americans with Disabilities Act, after the district prevented her from bringing her dog, a goldendoodle named “Wonder,” to school with her. The dog was specially trained to help her retrieve dropped items, open and close doors, switch on and off lights, and perform other tasks. The girl’s parents argue that the school district’s policies stood in the way of their daughter’s independence.
