School District Bans Service Dog
How sad. A Kentucky mother says her son’s civil rights are being violated by the school system. The Hancock County parent says her son is not allowed to have his seizure-assistance service dog with him in the classroom.
Yet 4 Paws for Ability (I’m the webmaster) just got word that in another school district in St. Charles, Missouri, two service dogs have been listed as Paraprofessionals under the Staff.
The headline: Saeger Middle School Appoints Service Dogs to Staff of Paraprofessionals
Here’s the link to Saeger Middle School’s staff page. Scroll down to spot Harry and Monroe, both 4 Paws for Ability Service Dogs. Saeger Middle School is firmly grounded in the 21st Century. Congratulations for providing the best possible environment for your students: all your students, for surely those without disabilities will learn and pass on healthy, enthusiastic attitudes toward disabilities the rest of their lives.
