"Bradley County Schools Accused of Denying Cancer-Stricken Child Homebound Instruction Extension"
Bradley County Schools in Tennessee are facing a lawsuit for allegedly denying a 7-year-old student with cancer an extension for homebound instruction. The child, Caroline, is undergoing radiation and chemotherapy for kidney cancer, which weakens her immune system. Despite her doctors' advice that she cannot return to school until January, the school district reportedly discontinued her medical homebound instruction and ordered her to return to school. The lawsuit claims that this violates the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Bradley County Schools stated that they are committed to providing the best education for all students, including those with disabilities, but declined to comment further due to the ongoing litigation.
