The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled in favor of a student in Michigan seeking to hold his local school district accountable for allegedly failing to adequately meet his educational needs.
In the unanimous ruling, the court said Miguel Luna Perez could pursue claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act against Sturgis Public School District.
The brief decision written by Justice Neil Gorsuch was on a technical issue: whether Perez was barred from bringing a claim under the ADA because he was already seeking relief under a different federal law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
