A D.C. Superior Court judge has ruled that a class-action lawsuit accusing the District of failing to provide reliable transportation for students with disabilities can move forward, marking a significant step in a case that has been ongoing for more than two years. The lawsuit was first filed in 2024 by six parents, including Elizabeth Daggett, who alleged that the District’s Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) failed to provide safe, reliable, and effective transportation to and from school for children with disabilities. The case has since expanded to include nearly 4,000 students.
