- What it's about
This case involves a student with epilepsy who sued her school district for disability discrimination after they allegedly failed to provide adequate accommodations for her condition. The Supreme Court addressed whether students bringing such claims under the ADA and Rehabilitation Act must prove that school officials acted with "bad faith or gross misjudgment," or if a lower standard of proof applies.
Question presented
Do the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Rehabilitation Act of 1973 require children with disabilities to satisfy a “bad faith or gross misjudgment” standard when seeking relief for discrimination relating to their education?
