Private Schools And Special Needs Children Get Victory Today

I am reading this opinion now. More later.

In a second decision, the Court by a 6-3 vote ruled that parents of a disabled child, who decide on their own to transfer the child to a private school, are entitled to tuition reimbursement from the local school district even if the child had never received any special education aid previously. If a public school fails to provide an adequate education for the child, the Court said in the opinion written by Justice John Paul Stevens, the parents are entitled to be repaid for the money they spend at a private school as an alternative. (Forest Grove School District v. T.A., 08-305).

Update
The Opinion is here.
