A mom from Wisconsin is accusing her child’s former private school of discrimination. She claims her 5-year-old daughter Kiley Eliason was asked to leave New Life Academy in Minnesota because of her Type 1 diabetes.
“When you live with a disease that could kill you at any moment — being taken out of class is the least of your problems,” Garvey tells Yahoo Lifestyle. Shortly after the nurse raised questions about the school not providing the necessary resources for Kiley’s condition, Garvey was called into a meeting with the school’s principal in which she was told Kiley was no longer a “good fit” for New Life Academy. Despite asking to allow Kiley to finish out the school year, Garvey was apparently given only two weeks to find her a new school.
We are blessed to provide a Christ-centered learning environment for our students — ours is a community of caring. The school also noted that they requested Garvey sign a released so they could talk publicly about the incident, but she has apparently yet to do so.
See you in court, New Life Academy. And bring your checkbook. What a sad story. Stay strong Kiley! 🙏🏻
