Delaware Valley Schools in Pennsylvania Reverses Decision to Monitor CGM’s for T1Ds based on DOJ Mandate in Washington State

Nearly one year ago Delaware Valley (DV) school board members in Pennsylvania were firm in their decision to not monitor the continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) of students with type 1 diabetes. As reported by the Pike County Courier last year, parents continued to advocate for the school district to understand the safety and legal implications of refusing. The Western District of Washington recently released a letter from the US Attorney that required Highline Public Schools to monitor CGMs. Referencing this letter in tonights meeting, DV schools announced that because this letter has federal implications for all public schools at the “federal level", they would seek to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and implement the accommodation for their students with type 1 diabetes this school year.
