The New York Times - February 24, 1986
Judge Harmon Scoville of Orange County Superior Court ruled last week that the boy, Channon Phipps of El Toro, should be allowed to return to class because he was not suffering from the disease and the virus was not contagious in a school setting.
"There were absolutely no incidents," said Jeff Herdman, a spokesman for the Saddleback Valley Unified School District, after the boy, a hemophiliac, returned to classes today.
In Kokomo, Ind., the attorney for Ryan White, a 14-year-old boy with acquired immune deficiency syndrome, filed a petition that would require parents trying to keep the boy from attending school with their children to post a bond to cover possible legal damages. Judge Alan Brubaker of Howard County Circuit Court is to rule on the petition Tuesday.
