Supreme Court decision on private school tuition

Hot off the Supreme Court docket! Parents of special education students may seek reimbursement for their private school placement even if the child never received special education services in the public school. Once a finding is made that the school district denied the student a FAPE--a free appropriate public education--and that the parent's private school provides a FAPE--reimbursement is possible.

Here is the N Y. Times article.

This is big and will affect many schools and parents...
