United States Ninth Circuit
K.M. v. Tustin Unified School District, 11-56259
Summary judgments to defendant-school district in two cases in which plaintiffs, high schoolers with hearing disabilities, alleged that their school districts had an obligation under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to provide them with a word-for-word transcription service, are reversed and remanded, where a school district's compliance with its obligations to a deaf or hard-of-hearing child under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) does not also necessarily establish compliance with its effective communication obligations to that child under Title II of the ADA.
