School in Long Island NY makes right of a poor decision to not admit diabetic students

Raynor Country Day School in Long Island, New York, USA has settled on a law suit and is now admitting diabetic students.

The Raynor School allegedly denied requests to permit children with diabetes to attend the camp and denied requests for the school to supervise the children in daily monitoring of their diabetes, including personal testing by the children of blood glucose levels and administering insulin to themselves using a personal insulin pump.

Craziness! I honestly can not believe that a school in this day and age would attempt to deny admission based on anything medical or otherwise. I do give credit to the Raynor School for working cooperatively with the Department of Justice to rectify their original decision and ensure that children with diabetes will have the opportunity to attend the school.
