What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arkansas
I have a disabled son who is in the third grade, his school has repeatedly refused to adhere to the 504 coordinators instructions. They have all paperwork required by law and have been warned many times by the coordinator to make the necessary provisions for him. They have not. I have hired an attorney to enforce my sons rights at the school. The attorney says that my child’s civil rights have been violated and we need to sue. My question is if the school ignored doctor’s recommendation for accommodation so that my child could benefit from school and be ok, is it a civil rights violation? I’m not the type to sue anyone and never have before and I’m not sure what all it involves or if it is worth it. I don’t want to do something that will cause more harm than good for my son.
