The Case of Miguel Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools
Miguel Perez is suing the Sturgis School District of Michigan for disability discrimination under title two of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The school enrolled a deaf student who only spoke Spanish and they had an affirmative obligation under disability laws to serve him. Three months before his high school graduation, Miguel's parents received notice from the school district that he would not receive a diploma but instead would receive a certificate of completion.
