About this case
A class action filed on behalf of students with disabilities alleged that the New York City Department of Education lacked policies and procedures to provide legally required educational services to students who avoided school because of conditions such as anxiety or depression. A judge dismissed the lawsuit, and the department later reached an agreement with the plaintiffs’ attorneys to establish systemwide guidance, training, school liaisons, and support for affected students.
