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

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a deaf student in Michigan, Miguel Luna Perez, who sued his local school district for allegedly failing to meet his educational needs. The court said Perez could pursue claims under the American with Disabilities Act against Sturgis Public School District. The school settled Perez’s Individuals with Disabilities Education Act complaint, promising to provide education at the Michigan School for the Deaf. Perez then sued under the ADA, claiming compensatory damages. The case will now return to lower courts to determine if Perez can win the damages he seeks.
