What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky
Recently my wife was taking a course at a drive through school in Kentucky. This school offers job training and employment assistance. She told them she was allergic to latex, and asked if it would be a problem for her to be in the operating room. They asked how she knew she was allergic, so she told them that she has had severe reactions to latex condom as well as dentist visits when she was a teen. Their reply was basically "Nope, no problem, but we need it documented by an allergy test.
Being in the military, there was no cost to us so sure why not right? The results came back and sure enough she is highly allergic. After taking the results back to the school along a full physical exam, they signed her up and started arranging financing. My wife asked again if she was going to be able to preform her duties after she completed the classroom instruction, the school said she would be fine.
She over came some serious adversities while attending this school. Dealing with a 85 mile round trip 4 days a week.
Overcoming her dyslexia was an achievement, not facilitated by the school.
So upon starting her "clinical" she started experiencing breathing problems and fatigue. We thought it might just be the sudden change in her daily physical regimen. She consulted a doctor and it was determined she needed her tonsils taken out, which meant time off school.
So she did. She had surgery and didn't complete the program.
After her recovery time she returned to the school, started at the beginning of her "clinical" period and was going to soldier on.
Until she began having breathing problems again. That is when she was dismissed from the clinical site (a Hospital not owned or operated by the school).
So now the school says; 1) they can't place her at any other Hospitals 2) she will not be refunded any of the 26,000 dollars in school loans she has incurred 3) her only option is to complete another program that doesn't include a field that uses latex. Which by the way means that she will be in a field that on average makes $6 an hour less than the one she did all of this training for.
The credits won't transfer to another school, we can't afford the child care cost for her to continue doing anything without bringing home an income.
SO THE QUESTION IS, is this just one more thing for me to be upset about, or can I sue the school for a full refund.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
