IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. Plaintiff, MILWAUKEE MONTESSORI SCHOOL 345 North 95th Street Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53226, Civil Action No.: Defendant. [PROPOSED] CONSENT DECREE Press Release Introduction This matter is before the Court for entry of a Consent Decree agreed upon by the Parties, Plaintiff United States of America and Defendant Milwaukee Montessori School ("the School"). The United States alleges that the School discriminated against a child with a disability and members of his family in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq. The child in question, identified in the Complaint as M.K., who at the relevant time was a student at the School (having enrolled after he turned 18 months old), has a rare neuromuscular disability. The alleged discrimination underlying this lawsuit includes both direct and associational discrimination related to Milwaukee Montessori School's failure to make reasonable modifications to policies, practices, or procedures for M.K. and its disenrollment of M.K. from the school based on his disability. This Court has jurisdiction over this action under 28 U.S.C. 1331 and 1345, and 42 U.S.C. 12188. The parties agree that venue is appropriate. The United States and Milwaukee Montessori School agree that it is in the Parties' best interests, and the United States believes it is in the public interest, to fully and finally resolve this matter on mutually agreeable terms without resort to protracted litigation. The Parties hereby agree and stipulate to the Court's entry of all aspects of this Consent Decree in resolution of the United States' Complaint against Milwaukee Montessori School. Accordingly, the parties hereby AGREE and the Court expressly APPROVES, ENTERS AND ORDERS THE FOLLOWING: 1. Plaintiff is the United States of America. Parties 2.
