Lawsuit against Maclay School alleges 'disability discrimination'

Maclay School is being sued by a parent, alleging discrimination as the school refuses to let her son return for his senior year. In the complaint, filed Sept. 9 in Leon County Circuit Civil court, the parent of an unnamed student is accusing the private school of disability discrimination in violation of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), handicap discrimination that violates the Rehabilitation Act, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. The three claims are each in excess of $50,000. The recent lawsuit also comes four months after a May lawsuit claiming that the private school’s former head lacrosse coach Justin VanTassel verbally and physically abused a student. A complaint in a lawsuit tells only one side of a story. The Tallahassee Democrat contacted the school for comments from administrators, but the school does not comment on pending legal matters. “We want to emphasize that we take all allegations seriously,” the school said in a statement sent to the Tallahassee Democrat Oct. 19. “The safety and well-being of our community remain our highest priorities, and we are committed to handling any concerns with care, integrity and in accordance with all appropriate policies and procedures.” In the latest

Florida colleges, universities avoid arming staff after new law

Eighteen months after a gunman killed two people and wounded six at Florida State University, no Florida college or university has adopted the armed-campus guardian program lawmakers created in response to the mass shooting. A review by Everytown for Gun Safety and its Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action affiliates in Florida, found none of the state's 40 public colleges and universities has implemented the program authorized under a new state law ( HB 757) . After the group announced its findings Oct. 12, Polk State College in Winter Haven told the Tallahassee Democrat it has begun developing policies that allow trained faculty and staff to carry firearms on campus. Polk is the only institution to publicly announce plans to do so. Its new president is Anastasios "Stasi" Kamoutsas, who previously was Florida's education commissioner. The lack of interest in the proposal highlights what was evident when the Legislature debated it earlier this year. When lawmakers argued colleges needed the option to arm trained employees after the FSU shooting, students, faculty and the Florida Sheriffs Association objected.
