No. 18-2272
Decision Date: 
December 11, 2018
Federal District: 
N.D. Ill., E. Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed and dismissed in part

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant-School District’s motion for summary judgment in plaintiff-student’s action under Americans with Disabilities Act and section 504 of Rehabilitation Act alleging that defendant failed to accommodate her anxiety/depression by allowing her to complete her senior year of high school after plaintiff had moved out of defendant’s school district. Record showed that defendant disallowed plaintiff from attending its high school because of its residency policy and not because of her alleged disability, and thus plaintiff could not show that but for her disability she would have been able to obtain her requested accommodation of attending school in defendant’s school district.
