In Forest Grove School District v. T.A., published today, the U.S. Supreme Court held that where a school district fails to provide a special education student any special education services, and the parent therefore enrolls the child in private special education, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act permits a hearing officer or court to order the school district to reimburse the parent for private education. This decision expands upon previous decisions allowing reimbursement for private education where a school district first provides special education services that are inadequate.
