New Jersey School District to Adopt Service Animal Policies and Pay Fine to Resolve Justice Department Investigation

Washington, DC—(ENEWSPF)—June 24, 2014. The Justice Department announced today that it reached a settlement with the Delran Township School District in New Jersey under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  The agreement resolves allegations that the school district violated the ADA by refusing to allow a student with autism and encephalopathy to have his service dog in school or at school-related activities.  The service dog alerts to the student’s seizures, provides mobility and body support and mitigates the symptoms of his autism.
