Supreme Court makes it easier for students with disabilities to sue schools over inadequate accommodations.

The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that it will be easier for students with disabilities to sue schools for inadequate accommodations under federal laws. The case involved Ava Tharpe, a teenager with epilepsy, whose new school in Minnesota refused to accommodate her late-day schedule, leading to less class time. The court's decision lowers the burden of proof for such lawsuits, making it simpler for families to seek compensation and necessary accommodations.
