Diabetes, a lifelong condition, is considered a disability under federal and local laws.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n<p>The plaintiffs are three children with diabetes and the nonprofit American Diabetes Association.<\/p>\n<p>Under federal and city laws, the Department of Education is required to develop a diabetes-care plan for diabetic students. Advocates say those plans are rarely in place when the school year begins, leaving students in danger of serious health consequences. In some cases, parents are forced to be primary caregivers, according to the lawsuit. Children also have to miss school or be segregated from their peers because of regular visits to the school nurse.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read More on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/parents-of-children-with-diabetes-sue-nyc-education-department-1541110083\">WSJ<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Melanie Grayce West (Wall St Journal) A federal lawsuit accuses New York City of failing to ensure that students with diabetes can attend public school safely and with equal access to educational opportunities as their peers.
