PA: Refugee Teens Sue for Educational Rights (Includes audio)
Public News Service – July 20, 2016
A lawsuit filed in federal district court Tuesday accused the district of either refusing to enroll 17- to 21-year-old, non-English-speaking refugees at all, or diverting them to a privately operated school for underachieving students. According to Maura McInerney, senior staff attorney with the Education Law Center, vulnerable students with intensive language shortfalls are not getting what they need.
