E. W., B.W. v Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation
No. 25-2991
Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, Magistrate Judge M. Kendra Klump. Affirms decision granting summary judgment to the school in a case involving the denial of an application to re-enroll for an out-of-district student dealing with depression and anxiety. The court found that records show the school “reasonably accommodated” the student’s disability through its Alternative Learning Plan under Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and safety plans. The student received several out-of-school suspensions before an application to re-enroll was denied. The court found the school had a valid, non-pretextual basis for denying her reenrollment. Judge Kolar authored the opinion. Judges Jackson-Akiwumi and Lee concurred.
