(2,753 posts)One simple question here: How was the daughter previously getting to school?
It is clear she was going to school before the district determined she has developmental disabilities. So, how was she getting to school?
There is more to this story which probably includes this family recently moving to this neighborhood.
I work in Real Estate in Florida, and laws very from State to State. But I am pretty sure that a school district can't overturn an HOA provision in any State. The other kids obviously get on/off the bus outside the gates. If they allow one child to get on inside the gates, they all do. The HOA already determined it didn't want school buses in the neighborhood. This is common in all gated neighborhoods in my area - kids get on/off bus outside the gates. The notion that the ADA extends to covenants such as this is extremely questionable. Buying a home in the neighborhood and then telling the HOA they have to change things for you because of your medical condition or disability is a legal joke.
