Federal law authorizes reimbursements for private school tuition, even when a
child has never received special education services from a public school, the
U.S. Supreme Court ruled today.
The justices ruled 6-3 in Forest Grove School District v. T.A. (Case No. 08-305)
that 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act meant to
rein in the costs of private school placements did not remove the power of
hearing officers and federal judges to order such reimbursements under the
proper circumstances.
