  • Winkelman v. Parma City School District, 550 U.S. 516

    A boy named Jacob did not gt a free appropriate education, so his parents requested that since the school could not provide Jacob with what he needed, that they pay his tuition. The family was rewarded $68,000 that would cover his tuition to a private school. This can show parents that they should never give up on their child when school can not provide them with what they need.
