Let Sophia Into School!

The Issue

Eight-year-old Sean Forsyth suffers from autism. The Pine Richland School District has used stalling tactics and other unprofessional behavior with the Forsyth family to discourage them from asking that Sean's service dog, Sophia, be allowed to attend school with him. The petition will be sent to the superintendent and other officials in the hopes public opinion forces them to follow the law and allow Sophia to attend school with Sean under the Americans With Disabilities Act. Sophia is Sean's best friend and biggest helper. Having her in school with him will help give him the best educational experience possible.
