DENVER — A trial is happening this week in Denver after a girl's parents sued Academy School District 20 , accusing the Colorado Springs school district of violating the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act .
The lawsuit states Victoria has"consistently been the subject of Individualized Education Programs " since 2018. Her family claims a school district in California, as well as District 11 in Colorado Springs, made accommodations for Victoria to receive education at home. The lawsuit alleges that D20 denied similar accommodations for Victoria in September 2023, requiring her to attend school in person. The complaint includes two notes attributed to Victoria's doctors advising she be home schooled to avoid exposure to viruses.
"It's not about your... collective experience with other children. It's about what each child needs individually. Period," said Broyles.Documents show the district offered the Broyles a $10,000 settlement, outlining no changes to Victoria's proposed education plan. The Broyles refused to settle.
