NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) — North Platte school board members are considering changing the rules on when a student can take a service animal to school.

An update proposal was presented to the board last week, and a vote is scheduled on Feb. 10.

North Platte associate superintendent Tami Eshleman told the board that the district has a student who may need a service animal and that the district should be prepared. Eshleman says district administrators want to align the policy with the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990.

One of the policy changes would add the words “or disease” wherever the word “disability” is used. Eshleman cited as an example people who have service dogs that can warn their owners when their owners’ blood sugar levels are high or low.
