Boy's Playground Ban Heard In State High Court
AUGUSTA, ME, JUNE 15, 2005-- The case of a home-schooled boy with Asperger syndrome, who was banned from the neighborhood school playground nearly two years ago, has made it to the state's highest court. The Maine Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday in the suit that the parents of Jan Rankowski filed against Falmouth Public Schools after Plummer-Motz School officials prohibited the boy from playing with students on the playground during recess.
