Order on Motion for Summary Judgment
ORDER entered by Judge Sara Darrow on September 2, 2026. Defendants Galva CUSD, Galva CUSD 224 Board of Education, Jerry Becker, and Kurtis Smyth's 25 motion for summary judgment is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. The Court GRANTS summary judgment for Becker and Smyth. Plaintiff Mia Merkel's claims against the remaining defendants brought under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and Rehabilitation Act ("RA") survive insofar as they seek recovery for (1) Defendants' failure to accommodate Mia's disability by repeatedly failing to implement her 504 Plan and failing to accommodate her PSAT, and (2) Defendants' creation of a hostile learning environment. Defendants are entitled to summary judgment on Mia's Illinois tort law count and any other theories of liability under the ADA or RA. Pursuant to Local Rule 16.1(B), the parties are DIRECTED to participate in a settlement conference with Magistrate Judge Ronald Hanna prior to trial. (PJD)
