Supreme Court won't consider case about school's funding for autism treatment

From The Denver Post:

A Berthoud couple's efforts to have the Thompson Valley School District pay for their autistic son's treatment in Boston is over.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Feb. 20 rejected a request to review the case involving Luke Perkins. That means a 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that said the Thompson district was doing enough to meet Luke's needs will stand.

Jeff and Julie Perkins, Luke's parents, had argued that Berthoud Elementary was not doing enough to help Luke after he enrolled there in 2002.

They instead enrolled him at the private Boston Higashi School for Autism and sued to have the district pay for his tuition.

Several lower courts backed the Perkins family but the 10th Circuit did not.
