Abstract
- Given the disproportionate rates of youth with disabilities who experience exclusionary discipline in schools, it is important to consider the involvement of law enforcement officers in the discipline of these students and the students' right to an equitable education. One recent case of concern was Wilson v. City of Southlake, which clarified that police can be sued for disability discrimination based on their response to a student with a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 where life-threatening circumstances are not present. This finding has implications for schools that involve school resource officers in responding to children who are protected under either of these provisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
