Minors May Sue

(a)Except as otherwise provided by subsection (b), a minor may enforce his rights by civil action or other legal proceeding, in the same manner as an adult, except that a guardian must bring the same, provided that the plaintiff must first exhaust the administrative process mandated by Chapter 11, Title 17 GCA, if applicable.

(b)A parent or legal guardian of a public school student may bring a civil action for injunctive relief, mandate, prohibition or other legal remedy but not money damages on behalf of a public school student to secure or maintain the public school student’s right to an adequate public education, provided that he must first exhaust the administrative process mandated by Chapter 11, Title 17 GCA.
