Do parents have to prove BAD FAITH to bring a disability discrimination claim? ⚖️
In A.J.T. v. Osseo Area Schools, the Supreme Court addressed an important question about disability discrimination in education.
Although Ava had an IEP, her family's discrimination claims were brought under Section 504 and the ADA.
The Court rejected the requirement that students prove bad faith or gross misjudgment simply because the alleged discrimination occurred in an educational setting.
Parents, understanding the difference between IDEA rights and disability discrimination protections matters!
