Description
The school district that serves military families based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) has been under fire for allegedly denying medically fragile children the education they are entitled to under federal and state law.
Since 2022, the Clover Park School District has been served with legal action four times, by three families, for allegations of refusing to serve extremely medically fragile children in their homes, as recommended by medical professionals.
“Our experience with the Clover Park School District has been dehumanizing," said Ceasarae Galvan of Lakewood whose special needs child, Awty, is enrolled in the school district. “They don’t treat her like a child entitled to an education.”
