Supreme Court rules in favor of disabled students in education cases.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a deaf student, Miguel Luna Perez, who alleged that his Michigan school district failed to provide him with an adequate education. The court unanimously decided that Perez could pursue an Americans With Disabilities Act claim against the Sturgis Public School District, even though he was also seeking help under another federal program, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The court said that nothing in IDEA “bars his way” from an ADA lawsuit, and that answering the question “holds consequences not just for Mr. Perez but for a great many children with disabilities and their parents.”
