Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

If you are a 'school' asking that, you'd better contact the district's legal counsel for actual legal advice. I assume you are a family member questioning something that happened to your student. No one can give you a useful answer whether something was done improperly or illegally without knowing all the facts and issues. In general, if the school believes the student needs medical/psychiatric attention and treatment, they may make 'reasonable under the circumstances' decisions on how to accomplish that. Danger of physical harm would be handled different that a runny nose. No one here is going to give you a law school and practice of law education in answer to your question. If you seriously believe the school did something wrong that harmed your student or violated some actual legal rights, feel free to contact me to discuss the actual facts, rights and remedies.
