[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 333737, member: 3704"] Unless there is more to this story than is being told (which is almost always true) the school system is going to lose this one ,without a doubt. It is just sad that it will take time to hold their feet to the fire. Given that the boy is 9, it's possible that he'll be on to middle school before the case is finally adjudicated through all court levels. Congress has recently "toughened up" the ADA , and it's going to be years before the case law is fully developed. Eventually, though, he will be able to have his dog present at school. My boss has a companion dog - not a service dog. On occasion I have gone places with her where uneducated folks have attempted to bar the dog's entry (usually restaurants). She carries paperwork with her (actually the dog does in her vest) which outlines the laws concerning companion dogs. We've always been able to help these folks understand the situation, and usually everyone ends up having a good time. In my opinion, that school system needs better legal representation!
