Seeger partially grants an Illinois school district’s motion to dismiss a slew of civil rights and ADA claims brought by the parent of a disabled child who faced intense bullying at school. As a result of the bullying, which the court notes the school district and its staff did little to stop, and in several instances made worse, the child suffered physical injuries and mental trauma including post-traumatic stress disorder. The court dismisses the ADA claims against two school administrators individually, but allows the claims against the district itself to stand. The court also dismisses the parent’s claim for procedural due process violations entirely and dismisses the substantive due process claims, again, only against the two individual administrators. The parent’s claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress stands.
