Luna Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools

This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's March 21, 2023, opinion in Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools.

Summary:  A deaf student argued that his school district violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by failing to accommodate his disability in public school and preventing him from graduating.  The school district successfully moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) required the student to first exhaust administrative procedures under that statute before suing under the ADA for compensatory damages.  SCOTUS held that the student was not required to exhaust administrative procedures under the IDEA before filing suit for compensatory damages under the ADA.
