TL;DR Summary

The US Supreme Court has ruled unanimously in favor of a 27-year-old Michigan man, Miguel Luna Perez, who is seeking compensatory damages from Sturgis Public Schools for not providing him with an appropriate education for more than a decade. Luna Perez, who is deaf, was denied regular access to qualified interpreters for 12 years despite a recommendation he be taught American Sign Language.
