I strongly believe that the High Schools are violating the law concerning access for the training of service dogs. I researched Idaho's laws concerning Service Dogs, and according to the publication "Assistance Dogs International's Guide to Assistance Dog Laws," TRAINERS: have SAME ACCESS AS TRAINED DOGS; however, they must “. . . shall carry and upon request display an identification card issued by a recognized school for assistance dogs or organization which serves disabled persons.” The law cited is: Idaho Statutes, Title 56, Chapter 7, Section 56-704A. I hope you can get this info to the trainers that have been denied access to the high schools, and then the program that oversees the trainers should issue identification cards, and then provide a copy of the Idaho statute to the high school. Then if they still don't allow the trainers and dogs into the school, they should take their case to the media, or their local state representative. Good luck and don't be defeated by the ignorance of the school or other management. --Kay M. I have Glycogen Storage type IX (phosphorylase b kinase deficiency).
