Constructing Effective Responses: Considerations for Integrating a Service Animal into a Public School
Morgan, Anita F.; Sears, Julie A.; Driscoll, Lisa G.
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v22 n4 p45-64 Dec 2019
A respected principal finds himself caught in the middle of a complex legal conundrum when a student requests to bring a service animal to his public school where another student may be dangerously allergic to the animal. This case explores how accommodations per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) intersect in a public school setting where classroom space and personnel resources are limited. Educational leaders will be able to construct effective responses by understanding how the three laws apply to students with disabilities who request that their service animals accompany them to public school and when their requests may come into conflict with the needs of others.
