GVSD Found to Have Violated Cheerleader’s Civil Rights and FAPE Standards Due to Mismanagement of Her Health Needs

The Garnet Valley School District has been found in violation of the rights of a student, Kyndal, who suffers from juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and related disabilities.

A recent decision by Special Education Hearing Officer Joy Waters Fleming, Esq., established that the district failed to provide necessary accommodations for Kyndal’s medical needs, particularly during school-sponsored activities. This ruling marks a significant setback for the district in their obligation to uphold FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education) as mandated by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

In a detailed 41-page Final Decision and Order, it was revealed that the Garnet Valley School District denied Kyndal appropriate accommodations, including essential access to a nurse on District-sponsored away trips.

“Kyndal has had her educational rights trampled by the very institution meant to protect those rights,” Joseph Montgomery, Esq., representing Kyndal’s family, highlighted the District’s failure to provide necessary medical accommodations, notably during off-campus activities.

Shocking Allergy Incident Rocks School! Parents Urged to Stay Vigilant as New School Year Approaches!

Broward County, FLORIDA - As we approach the commencement of a new school year, schools and parents are urged to exercise vigilance and awareness when it comes to their children's health and safety.

A recent incident at Renaissance Charter School at Pines serves as a stark reminder of the critical importance of effective communication and proper protocols for addressing children's allergies within educational settings.

In a distressing turn of events, a parent had previously informed the original teacher about their child's allergies and diligently provided an epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen) to ensure swift medical intervention if necessary. However, a change in staff occurred, and a new teacher was assigned to the child's class without proper transfer of essential information.

The school administration claims that the new teacher was not given the EpiPen, leading to a catastrophic outcome. Tragically, the child suffered an allergic reaction at school, necessitating immediate medical attention. Regrettably, due to the school's actions and inactions, the child was rendered unconscious and rushed to the emergency room.

Despite the teacher's initial denial of having knowledge about the allergy, a surfaced text message now reveals that she was indeed aware of the allergy.

In light of this devastating incident, the family of the affected child has entrusted their legal representation to Montgomery Law, EducationLawyers.com.

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the family during this incredibly challenging time. The family seeks not only justice but also the assurance that an avoidable incident like this never happens again," stated Joseph Montgomery, the attorney representing the family. "Parents should be able to expect their children will be safe at school. EducationLawyers.com remains steadfast in our commitment to advocate for our clients' rights and pursue fair and appropriate compensation for the damages endured."
