Washington v. Indiana High School Athletic Association, Inc.

After repeated grade retentions related to an undiagnosed learning disability, Washington (plaintiff) dropped out of high school on a counselor's advice, later enrolled at a new school where he was finally diagnosed as learning disabled, but by then faced losing athletic eligibility under IHSAA's (defendant) rule capping eligibility at eight semesters after starting ninth grade; his new school's requested waiver was denied, and Washington and the school (plaintiffs) sued under Title II of the ADA and won a preliminary injunction, prompting IHSAA's appeal.
