Brian Doe; Jane Doe; Robert Doe Plaintiffs - Appellants v. Pleasant Valley School District; Mississippi Bend Area Education Agency Defendants - Appellees
Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport [Unpublished] Before BENTON, BOWMAN, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
In this action alleging violations of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), Brian Doe, Jane Doe, and Robert Doe appeal from the order of the District Court granting summary judgment to the defendants. After de novo review, we conclude that the District Court properly granted summary judgment because the Does could not establish that the defendants acted in bad faith or with gross misjudgment when they offered student Brian Doe an individualized education plan. See B.M. ex rel. Miller v. S. Callaway R-II Sch. Dist., 732 F.3d 882, 886, 887 (8th Cir. 2013) (describing the standard of review and explaining that "where alleged ADA and § 504 violations are based on educational services for disabled children, the plaintiff must prove that school officials acted in bad faith or with gross misjudgment") (cleaned up). We affirm.
The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa. --------
