Summary:
In 2019, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced a settlement with the Sayre School, a private K-12 institution in Lexington, Kentucky. The investigation found that the school denied admission to children with disabilities, violating Title III of the ADA. Under the agreement, Sayre School was required to adopt new policies, provide staff training, and ensure that students with disabilities were not excluded from educational opportunities. This case highlights how even prestigious independent schools can fail to meet their federal obligations.
