The school's position was that the service dog could not be allowed to accompany the Ehlena during lunch, in the library, during recess, and had to sit in the back of the classroom.

The family stated this violated Ehlena's rights that were protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act, by failing to modify their policies to allow a service dog. The family would have to go through a long lengthy process before they could sue under the Americans Disability Act.
