United States Solicitor General

Decision(s): In 2012, the district court dismissed the case based on the school district’s opinion that the Fry’s did not exhaust all the administrative remedies before filing a suit.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case after the start of the next term which will start in October 2016. Legal Significance for the Special Educator: If the case were awarded to the Fry family, it could mean school districts would be required to allow service dogs to accompany students to school even if the service was not listed in the student’s IEP. Students with disabilities would be able to use the service dog for independent measures that a one-on-one staff member would not be required to help with.
