In The Baby-Sitters Club season 1 episode 12 titled "Stacey Takes a Stand," the girls' summer is coming to an end, and they're getting ready to prep for the start of a new school year. However, Stacey's excitement over heading back to New York for school is crushed when she learns about the school's discriminatory policies for students with diabetes.
Stacey has been living with Type 1 Diabetes for years and is well-versed in managing her illness. However, when she discovers that her school in New York has a policy that requires students with diabetes to check their blood sugar and administer insulin shots in the nurse's office, Stacey is outraged. The policy would mean that she would have to leave class to take care of her health, which could lead to missing important lessons and falling behind in her studies.
Stacey decides to take a stand and rallies her fellow students with diabetes to fight the policy. Together, they come up with a plan to make the school board understand the challenges they face and the importance of accommodating students with diabetes. Stacey's efforts lead to a public meeting at school where students and parents can voice their opinions on the policy.
Meanwhile, Mary Anne is struggling with saying goodbye to Logan, who is leaving for a new school. She tries to hide her sadness, but Logan can sense that something is off. Mary Anne eventually opens up to Logan about her feelings and they agree to stay in touch.
Kristy is also dealing with a dilemma of her own. She learns that her dog Louie has been entered into a dog contest, and she's torn between wanting to support her mom's efforts to win and feeling guilty for not giving Louie the attention he deserves. In the end, Kristy overcomes her guilt and supports her mom in the competition.
As the episode comes to an end, Stacey and her fellow students with diabetes are pleased to learn that their efforts paid off. The school board agrees to change the policy, and students with diabetes will now be able to monitor their health in their classrooms. Stacey is thrilled to have made a difference and is excited to start the new school year in a more welcoming environment.
