WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court has made it easier for parents of special education students to be reimbursed for the cost of private schooling for their children.
The court ruled 6-3 Monday in favor a teenage boy from Oregon whose parents sought to force their local public school district to pay the $5,200 a month it cost to send their son to a private school.
Justice John Paul Stevens said in his majority opinion that the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act requires a school district to pay for private special ed services if the public school doesn't have appropriate services.
Stevens said this is "regardless of whether the child previously received special-education services through the public school."
