MADISON - The superintendent of the Oregon
School District says it's ready to defend itself against a lawsuit filed
after it denied enrollment to a student who was expelled from a
Janesville school.
Dr. Brian Busler says the district
followed state law in denying enrollment. Disability Rights Wisconsin
attorney Jeffrey Spitzer-Resnick says the state law that allows school
districts to deny enrollment to students expelled by another district is
unconstitutional.
He tells the State Journal that by
denying an education to hundreds of students a year, the state is
increasing the chances they'll end up in prison.
Documents say the middle school student
was expelled after serving suspensions for allegations of sexual assault
and possessing tobacco. The complaint says the student denies the
charges.
