Parents and advocates have long called on NYC schools to increase equitable access to care for students with diabetes - a disease that affects more than 13,000 children annually - and now a recent federal court settlement could finally address those concerns.On Jan. 27, a federal court ruled that New York City's Department of Education (DOE) violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by routinely denying students with diabetes access to field trips and bus transportation, a matter that stemmed from a 2018 class-action lawsuit where parents of students with Type 1 diabetes alleged the DOE systemically failed to provide basic and appropriate care for their children.
