Supreme Court to declines to hear Oregon case involving special education reimbursement

From The Portland Oregonian: The U.S. Supreme Court says it will not hear an appeal from the family of a student with special needs who sought reimbursement from the Forest Grove (Ore.) district for private school tuition after his parents enrolled him without informing the district. The denial lets stand an appeals court ruling that absolved the school district from paying the family's nearly $100,000 in tuition and $500,000 in legal bills. The student never received special education services from Forest Grove, which said the boy, who is now in his 20s, did not need the services. As a result, the parents placed him in a $5,200-a-month residential program and sought reimbursement.
