The Supreme Court on Monday shifted the landscape for students with learning disabilities, saying parents can, in some instances, bypass public school special-education programs and be reimbursed for private school tuition instead.
The court ruled 6-3 in favor of 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.
