"Recently, Dallas Disability Examiner Steve Carter wrote about how public schools are more likely to pay for private school for students with disabilities based upon a Supreme Court decision. In its decision, the Supreme Court said that parents of students with disabilities had a right to seek reimbursement from school districts for private school tuition, “even if they did not first try their public school’s education programs.” While this seems like a win for parents, parents must first pay the cost of tuition before seeking reimbursement.
