Landmark Case No. 3 A.C. et al v. Shelby County Board of Education - 6th Circuit http://apps.americanbar.org/ababoards/blog/blogpost.cfm?catid=14917&threadid=27721
This case involved a child who started kindergarten with Type 1 diabetes, that needed provisional help in class. The principle was against the provisions so much so that he filed a false claim with the Department of Child Services against the parents claiming neglect, which was unfounded by DCS. The mother then filed a suit which was denied by the district court and ultimately overturned by the Sixth Circuit Court and therefore reversed and remanded, in favor of the mother.
