On Aug 21 and 22 of 2025, Landon was denied entry to school.

He was denied entry to school because his district provided 1:1 nurse called in sick. It wasn’t her fault she called in sick. When we went to check Landon in school, the district said “no nurse, no school”. Other district staff said “safety was an accommodation” and when I asserted his rights under 504, ADA and FAPE, staff admitted they didn’t know what that meant. I referred to stay put and called it discriminatory exclusion. When they called campus police, I asserted his rights again. The campus police officer never approached me, but I named the harm, the exclusion. 

🚨 All Landon wants is equal access to school.

He’s 5 years old with mitochondrial disease. He showed up to school this morning backpack on, ready to learn, ready to be with his friends.

When we told him “No school today,” his confusion was met with this heartbreaking response:

👉 “That’s not okay.”

At just 5 years old, Landon understands what’s happening. He knows he’s being treated differently. He knows it isn’t fair.

This isn’t about medical clearance his doctors approved him to attend school. This is about a system that makes his right to education conditional on the district’s staffing.

💔 All he wants is equal access what every child deserves. He is zoned there. He has every right to be there.

On the way to grandma’s (whom he lovingly calls “Red Grandma”), he said:

“School mean. School not fair to me. School no want me.”

No child should ever be turned away from school because district staff call in sick.

This is Discriminatory exclusion, segregation and Denial of FAPE. 

This is why we need Landon’s Law.
